(1) The Undersecretary of the Treasury for 
Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, who is respon-
sible for safeguarding the financial system against il-
licit use, money laundering, terrorist financing, and 
the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, has 
repeatedly expressed concern about North Korea’s 
misuse of the international financial system as fol-
lows: 
(A) In 2006, the Undersecretary stated 
that, given North Korea’s ‘‘counterfeiting of 
U.S. currency, narcotics trafficking and use of 
accounts worldwide to conduct proliferation-re-
lated transactions, the line between illicit and 
licit North Korean money is nearly invisible’’ 
and urged financial institutions worldwide to 
‘‘think carefully about the risks of doing any 
North Korea-related business.’’. 
(B) In 2011, the Undersecretary stated 
that ‘‘North Korea remains intent on engaging 
in proliferation, selling arms as well as bringing 
in material,’’ and was ‘‘aggressively pursuing 
the effort to establish front companies.’’. 
(C) In 2013, the Undersecretary stated, in 
reference to North Korea’s distribution of high- 
quality counterfeit United States currency, that

‘‘North Korea is continuing to try to pass a 
supernote into the international financial sys-
tem,’’ and that the Department of the Treasury 
would soon introduce new currency with im-
proved security features to protect against 
counterfeiting by the Government of North 
Korea. 
(2) The Financial Action Task Force, an inter-
governmental body whose purpose is to develop and 
promote national and international policies to com-
bat money laundering and terrorist financing, has 
repeatedly— 
(A) expressed concern at deficiencies in 
North Korea’s regimes to combat money laun-
dering and terrorist financing; 
(B) urged North Korea to adopt a plan of 
action to address significant deficiencies in 
these regimes and the serious threat they pose 
to the integrity of the international financial 
system; 
(C) urged all jurisdictions to apply coun-
termeasures to protect the international finan-
cial system from ongoing and substantial money 
laundering and terrorist financing risks ema-
nating from North Korea;

(D) urged all jurisdictions to advise their 
financial institutions to give special attention to 
business relationships and transactions with 
North Korea, including North Korean compa-
nies and financial institutions; and 
(E) called on all jurisdictions to protect 
against correspondent relationships being used 
to bypass or evade countermeasures and risk 
mitigation practices, and take into account 
money laundering and terrorist financing risks 
when considering requests by North Korean fi-
nancial institutions to open branches and sub-
sidiaries in their jurisdiction. 
(3) On March 7, 2013, the United Nations Se-
curity Council unanimously adopted Resolution 
2094, which— 
(A) welcomed the Financial Action Task 
Force’s recommendation on financial sanctions 
related to proliferation, and its guidance on the 
implementation of sanctions; 
(B) decided that Member States should 
apply enhanced monitoring and other legal 
measures to prevent the provision of financial 
services or the transfer of property that could 
contribute to activities prohibited by applicable

United Nations Security Council resolutions; 
and 
(C) called on Member States to prohibit 
North Korean banks from establishing or main-
taining correspondent relationships with banks 
in their jurisdictions, to prevent the provision of 
financial services, if they have information that 
provides reasonable grounds to believe that 
these activities could contribute to activities 
prohibited by an applicable United Nations Se-
curity Council resolution, or to the evasion of 
such prohibitions. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE DESIGNA-
TION OF NORTH KOREA AS A JURISDICTION OF PRIMARY 
MONEY LAUNDERING CONCERN.—Congress— 
(1) acknowledges the efforts of the United Na-
tions Security Council to impose limitations on, and 
require enhanced monitoring of, transactions involv-
ing North Korean financial institutions that could 
contribute to sanctioned activities; 
(2) urges the President, in the strongest terms, 
to immediately designate North Korea as a jurisdic-
tion of primary money laundering concern, and to

nancial system against the risks posed by North Ko-

(3) urges the President to seek the prompt im-

and due diligence to prevent North Korea’s misuse 
of the international financial system, including by
