U.N. Blacklists Dozens of Ships, Businesses over N. Korea Smuggling
[AnNahar] The U.N. Security Council has blacklisted 27 ships, 21 companies and a businessman for helping  North Korea circumvent sanctions, as the United States keeps up pressure on Pyongyang despite its recent overtures toward talks, diplomats said.Acting on a request from the United States, it was the largest-ever package of sanctions designations on North Korea approved by a council committee, diplomats said. The move is part of a global crackdown on the smuggling of North Korean commodities in violation of U.N. sanctions resolutions, which were adopted in response to Pyongyang's nuclear and ballistic missile tests.
