SEC. 2. STATEMENT OF POLICY.
(a) In view of --
(1) North Korea's manifest determination to produce missiles,
nuclear weapons, and other weapons of mass destruction and to
proliferate missiles, in violation of international norms and
expectations; and

July 15, 2006, which requires all Member States, in accordance with
their national legal authorities and consistent with international
law, to exercise vigilance and prevent--

and technology from being transferred to North Korea's missile
or weapons of mass destruction programs; and

materials, goods, and technology from North Korea, and the
transfer of any financial resources in relation to North
Korea's missile or weapons of mass destruction programs,
it should be the policy of the United States to impose sanctions on
persons who transfer such weapons, and goods and technology related
to such weapons, to and from North Korea in the same manner as
persons who transfer such items to and from Iran and Syria
currently are sanctioned under United States law.
