Pres bans buying all arms in North Korea.

MOSCOW, March 30 (Itar-Tass) - President Dmitry Medvedev prohibited
all state structures, Russian legal and physical persons to purchase all
types of weapons in North Korea. The appropriate decree on measures for
implementing UN Security Council resolution 1874 of June 12, 2009, is
placed at the Kremlin's official site.
"All state institutions, industrial, commercial, financial, transport
and other enterprises, banks, organisations, other legal and physical
persons, under Russian jurisdiction, should be guided in their activities
by the fact that starting from June 12, 2009 and up to a special
directive, it is forbidden to buy in the DPRK all types of arms and
associated with them materials, their transportation with the use of sea
and air craft under the State Flag of the Russian Federation,
implementation of financial operations, technical training, consultations
as well as rendering services and assistance which are connected with
deliveries, manufacture, operation and use of such weapons or material
accessories," the decree says.
Besides, the decree bans transportation across the Russian territory,
including by air transport, export from the Russian territory to North
Korea, transfer to North Korea all types of weapons and connected with
them material accessories outside the Russian territory.
The decree does not permit either specialised training or teaching
North Korean citizens in the Russian territory or by Russian citizens in
subjects which can be conducive to proliferation of North Korean nuclear
activities and development of its delivery systems of nuclear arms.
UN Security Council resolution 1874 of June 12, 2009 provides
application of some restrictions against North Korea which carried out a
nuclear test.
