    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:

            (A) has repeatedly violated its commitments to the 
        complete, verifiable, and irreversible dismantlement of its 
        nuclear weapons programs; and
            (B) has willfully violated multiple United Nations Security 
        Council resolutions calling for North Korea to cease 
        development, testing, and production of weapons of mass 
        destruction.
        (2) Based on its past actions, including the transfer of 
    sensitive nuclear and missile technology to state sponsors of 
    terrorism, North Korea poses a grave risk for the proliferation of 
    nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction.
        (3) The Government of North Korea has been implicated 
    repeatedly in money laundering and other illicit activities, 
    including--
            (A) prohibited arms sales;
            (B) narcotics trafficking;
            (C) the counterfeiting of United States currency;
            (D) significant activities undermining cybersecurity; and
            (E) the counterfeiting of intellectual property of United 
        States persons.
        (4) North Korea has--
            (A) unilaterally withdrawn from the Agreement Concerning a 
        Military Armistice in Korea, signed at Panmunjom July 27, 1953 
        (commonly referred to as the ``Korean War Armistice 
        Agreement''); and
            (B) committed provocations against South Korea--

            her crew on March 26, 2010;

            Korean civilians on November 23, 2010;

            cyberattacks against the financial and communications 
            interests of South Korea on March 20, 2013; and
                (iv) by planting land mines near a guard post in the 
            South Korean portion of the demilitarized zone that maimed 
            2 South Korean soldiers on August 4, 2015.
        (5) North Korea maintains a system of brutal political prison 
    camps that contain as many as 200,000 men, women, and children, who

        food, clothing, and medical care; and
            (B) under constant fear of torture or arbitrary execution.

        and 2094 (2013); and

        Korea.
        (7) Persons, including financial institutions, who engage in 
    transactions with, or provide financial services to, the Government 
    of North Korea and its financial institutions without establishing

        (10) The Government of North Korea has sponsored acts of 
    international terrorism, including--
            (A) attempts to assassinate defectors and human rights 
        activists; and
            (B) the shipment of weapons to terrorists and state 
        sponsors of terrorism.

       TITLE I--INVESTIGATIONS, PROHIBITED CONDUCT, AND PENALTIES

    SEC. 101. STATEMENT OF POLICY.
    In order to achieve the peaceful disarmament of North Korea, 
Congress finds that it is necessary--
        (1) to encourage all member states of the United Nations to 
    fully and promptly implement United Nations Security Council 
    Resolution 2094 (2013);
        (2) to sanction the persons, including financial institutions, 
    that facilitate proliferation, illicit activities, arms 
    trafficking, cyberterrorism, imports of luxury goods, serious human 
    rights abuses, cash smuggling, and censorship by the Government of 
    North Korea;
        (3) to authorize the President to sanction persons who fail to 
    exercise due diligence to ensure that such financial institutions 
    and member states do not facilitate proliferation, arms 
    trafficking, kleptocracy, or imports of luxury goods by the 
    Government of North Korea;
        (4) to deny the Government of North Korea access to the funds 
    it uses to develop or obtain nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, 
    cyberwarfare capabilities, and luxury goods instead of providing 
    for the needs of the people of North Korea; and
        (5) to enforce sanctions in a manner that does not 
    significantly hinder or delay the efforts of legitimate United 
    States or foreign humanitarian organizations from providing 
    assistance to meet the needs of civilians facing humanitarian 
    crisis, including access to food, health care, shelter, and clean 
    drinking water, to prevent or alleviate human suffering.

 TITLE II--SANCTIONS AGAINST NORTH KOREAN PROLIFERATION, HUMAN RIGHTS 
                     ABUSES, AND ILLICIT ACTIVITIES

    SEC. 201. DETERMINATIONS WITH RESPECT TO NORTH KOREA AS A 
      JURISDICTION OF PRIMARY MONEY LAUNDERING CONCERN.
    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) The Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and 
    Financial Intelligence, who is responsible for safeguarding the 
    financial system against illicit use, money laundering, terrorist 
    financing, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, 
    and has repeatedly expressed concern about North Korea's misuse of 
    the international financial system--
            (A) in 2006--
                (i) stated, ``Given [North Korea's] counterfeiting of 
            U.S. currency, narcotics trafficking and use of accounts 
            world-wide to conduct proliferation-related transactions, 
            the line between illicit and licit North Korean money is 
            nearly invisible.''; and
                (ii) urged financial institutions worldwide to ``think 
            carefully about the risks of doing any North Korea-related 
            business'';
            (B) in 2011, stated that North Korea--
                (i) ``remains intent on engaging in proliferation, 
            selling arms as well as bringing in material''; and
                (ii) was ``aggressively pursuing the effort to 
            establish front companies.''; and
            (C) in 2013, stated--
                (i) 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 system''; and
                (ii) the Department of the Treasury would soon 
            introduce new currency with improved security features to 
            protect against counterfeiting by the Government of North 
            Korea.
        (2) The Financial Action Task Force, an intergovernmental body 
    whose purpose is to develop and promote national and international 
    policies to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, has 
    repeatedly--
            (A) expressed concern at deficiencies in North Korea's 
        regimes to combat money laundering and terrorist financing;
            (B) urged North Korea to adopt a plan of action to address 
        significant deficiencies in those regimes and the serious 
        threat those deficiencies pose to the integrity of the 
        international financial system;
            (C) urged all jurisdictions to apply countermeasures to 
        protect the international financial system from ongoing and 
        substantial money laundering and terrorist financing risks 
        emanating 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 companies and financial institutions; and
            (E) called on all jurisdictions--
                (i) to protect against correspondent relationships 
            being used to bypass or evade countermeasures and risk 
            mitigation practices; and
                (ii) to take into account money laundering and 
            terrorist financing risks when considering requests by 
            North Korean financial institutions to open branches and 
            subsidiaries in their respective jurisdictions.
        (3) On March 7, 2013, the United Nations Security Council 
    unanimously adopted Resolution 2094, which--
            (A) welcomed the Financial Action Task Force's--
                (i) recommendation on financial sanctions related to 
            proliferation; and
                (ii) guidance on the implementation of such sanctions;
            (B) decided that United Nations 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 upon United Nations member states to prohibit 
        North Korean financial institutions from establishing or 
        maintaining correspondent relationships with financial 
        institutions in their respective jurisdictions to prevent the 
        provision of financial services if such member states have 
        information that provides reasonable grounds to believe that 
        such activities could contribute to--
                (i) activities prohibited by an applicable United 
            Nations Security Council resolution; or
                (ii) the evasion of such prohibitions.
    (b) Sense of Congress Regarding the Designation of North Korea as a 
Jurisdiction of Primary Money Laundering Concern.--Congress--
        (1) acknowledges the efforts of the United Nations Security 
    Council to impose limitations on, and to require the enhanced 
    monitoring of, transactions involving North Korean financial 
    institutions that could contribute to sanctioned activities;
        (2) urges the President, in the strongest terms--
            (A) to immediately designate North Korea as a jurisdiction 
        of primary money laundering concern; and
            (B) to adopt stringent special measures to safeguard the 
        financial system against the risks posed by North Korea's 
        willful evasion of sanctions and its illicit activities; and
        (3) urges the President to seek the prompt implementation by 
    other countries of enhanced monitoring and due diligence to prevent 
    North Korea's misuse of the international financial system, 
    including by sharing information about activities, transactions, 
    and property that could contribute to--
            (A) activities sanctioned by applicable United Nations 
        Security Council resolutions; or
            (B) the evasion of such sanctions.
    (c) Determinations Regarding North Korea.--
        (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
    enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Treasury, in 
    consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, 
    and in accordance with section 5318A of title 31, United States 
    Code, shall determine whether reasonable grounds exist for 
    concluding that North Korea is a jurisdiction of primary money 
    laundering concern.
        (2) Enhanced due diligence and reporting requirements.--If the 
    Secretary of the Treasury determines under paragraph (1) that 
    reasonable grounds exist for concluding that North Korea is a 
    jurisdiction of primary money laundering concern, the Secretary, in 
    consultation with the Federal functional regulators (as defined in 
    section 509 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (15 U.S.C. 6809)), shall 
    impose 1 or more of the special measures described in section 
    5318A(b) of title 31, United States Code, with respect to the 
    jurisdiction of North Korea.
        (3) Report required.--
            (A) In general.--Not later than 90 days after the date on 
        which the Secretary of the Treasury makes a determination under 
        paragraph (1), the Secretary shall submit to the appropriate 
        congressional committees a report that contains the reasons for 
        such determination.
            (B) Form.--The report submitted under subparagraph (A) 
        shall be submitted in unclassified form, but may include a 
        classified annex.
    SEC. 202. ENSURING THE CONSISTENT ENFORCEMENT OF UNITED NATIONS 
      SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTIONS AND FINANCIAL RESTRICTIONS ON NORTH 
      KOREA.
    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) All member states of the United Nations are obligated to 
    implement and enforce applicable United Nations Security Council 
    resolutions fully and promptly, including by blocking the property 
    of, and ensuring that any property is prevented from being made 
    available to, persons designated for the blocking of property by 
    the Security Council under applicable United Nations Security 
    Council resolutions.
        (2) As of May 2015, 158 of the 193 member states of the United 
    Nations had not submitted reports on measures taken to implement 
    North Korea-specific United Nations Security Council resolutions 
    1718, 1874, and 2094.
        (3) A recent report by the Government Accountability Office 
    (GAO-15-485)--
            (A) finds that officials of the United States and 
        representatives of the United Nations Panel of Experts 
        established pursuant to United Nations Security Council 
        Resolution 1874 (2009), which monitors and facilitates 
        implementation of United Nations sanctions on North Korea, 
        ``agree that the lack of detailed reports from all member 
        states is an impediment to the UN's effective implementation of 
        its sanctions''; and
            (B) notes that ``many member states lack the technical 
        capacity to enforce sanctions and prepare reports'' on the 
        implementation of United Nations sanctions on North Korea.
        (4) All member states share a common interest in protecting the 
    international financial system from the risks of money laundering 
    and illicit transactions emanating from North Korea.
        (5) The United States dollar and the euro are the world's 
    principal reserve currencies, and the United States and the 
    European Union are primarily responsible for the protection of the 
    international financial system from the risks described in 
    paragraph (4).
        (6) The cooperation of the People's Republic of China, as North 
    Korea's principal trading partner, is essential to--
            (A) the enforcement of applicable United Nations Security 
        Council resolutions; and
            (B) the protection of the international financial system.
        (7) The report of the Panel of Experts expressed concern about 
    the ability of banks to detect and prevent illicit transfers 
    involving North Korea if such banks are located in member states 
    with less effective regulators or member states that are unable to 
    afford effective compliance.
        (8) North Korea has historically exploited inconsistencies 
    between jurisdictions in the interpretation and enforcement of 
    financial regulations and applicable United Nations Security 
    Council resolutions to circumvent sanctions and launder the 
    proceeds of illicit activities.
        (9) Amroggang Development Bank, Bank of East Land, and Tanchon 
    Commercial Bank have been designated by the Secretary of the 
    Treasury, the United Nations Security Council, and the European 
    Union as having materially contributed to the proliferation of 
    weapons of mass destruction.
        (10) Korea Daesong Bank and Korea Kwangson Banking Corporation 
    have been designated by the Secretary of the Treasury and the 
    European Union as having materially contributed to the 
    proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
        (11) The Foreign Trade Bank of North Korea has been designated 
    by the Secretary of the Treasury for facilitating transactions on 
    behalf of persons linked to its proliferation network and for 
    serving as ``a key financial node''.
        (12) Daedong Credit Bank has been designated by the Secretary 
    of the Treasury for activities prohibited by applicable United 
    Nations Security Council resolutions, including the use of 
    deceptive financial practices to facilitate transactions on behalf 
    of persons linked to North Korea's proliferation network.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
President should intensify diplomatic efforts in appropriate 
international fora, such as the United Nations, and bilaterally, to 
develop and implement a coordinated, consistent, multilateral strategy 
for protecting the global financial system against risks emanating from 
North Korea, including--
        (1) the cessation of any financial services the continuation of 
    which is inconsistent with applicable United Nations Security 
    Council resolutions;
        (2) the cessation of any financial services to persons, 
    including financial institutions, that present unacceptable risks 
    of facilitating money laundering and illicit activity by the 
    Government of North Korea;
        (3) the blocking by all member states, in accordance with the 
    legal process of the state in which the property is held, of any 
    property required to be blocked under applicable United Nations 
    Security Council resolutions;
        (4) the blocking of any property derived from illicit activity, 
    or from the misappropriation, theft, or embezzlement of public 
    funds by, or for the benefit of, officials of the Government of 
    North Korea;
        (5) the blocking of any property involved in significant 
    activities undermining cybersecurity by the Government of North 
    Korea, directly or indirectly, against United States persons, or 
    the theft of intellectual property by the Government of North 
    Korea, directly or indirectly from United States persons; and
        (6) the blocking of any property of persons directly or 
    indirectly involved in censorship or human rights abuses by the 
    Government of North Korea.
    (c) Strategy to Improve International Implementation and 
Enforcement of United Nations North Korea-specific Sanctions.--The 
President shall direct the Secretary of State, in coordination with 
other Federal departments and agencies, as appropriate, to develop a 
strategy to improve international implementation and enforcement of 
United Nations North Korea-specific sanctions. The strategy should 
include elements--
        (1) to increase the number of countries submitting reports to 
    the United Nations Panel of Experts established pursuant to United 
    Nations Security Council Resolution 1874 (2009), including 
    developing a list of targeted countries where effective 
    implementation and enforcement of United Nations sanctions would 
    reduce the threat from North Korea;
        (2) to encourage member states of the United Nations to 
    cooperate and share information with the panel in order to help 
    facilitate investigations;
        (3) to expand cooperation with the Panel of Experts;
        (4) to provide technical assistance to member states to 
    implement United Nations sanctions, including developing the 
    capacity to enforce sanctions through improved export control 
    regulations, border security, and customs systems;
        (5) to harness existing United States Government initiatives 
    and assistance programs, as appropriate, to improve sanctions 
    implementation and enforcement; and
        (6) to increase outreach to the people of North Korea, and to 
    support the engagement of independent, non-governmental 
    journalistic, humanitarian, and other institutions in North Korea.
    (d) Report Required.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter, the Secretary of State 
shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report that 
describes the actions undertaken to implement the strategy required by

    the United States; and
        (2) submits a written report to the appropriate congressional 
    committees that describes--
            (A) the steps that the relevant agencies are taking to 
        curtail the trade described in subsection (b)(1); and
            (B) why such waiver is in the national interest of the
