Chinese Fishing Boats with NK Crews
Chinese fishing vessels used North Korean crew members
A fleet of Chinese fishing vessels operated in the southwest Indian Ocean, employing North Korean crews between 2019 and 2024, which is a breach of 2017 UNSC resolutions prohibiting the issuance of work permits to North Koreans. According to the Environmental Justice Foundation, North Korean crews were used on at least 12 tuna long-liners and Chinese deep-water fishing vessels, which is a violation of international sanctions. The North Koreans were subjected to abuses, including being trapped at sea, according to reports.
