In the first episode of season 3, podcast host Wolf-Christian Paes is joined by Dr Aaron Arnold to discuss the future of the North Korean UN Sanctions Regime.  As the regime continues its nuclear ambitions and tests the patience of the international community, we examine how effective the current sanctions are, what changes could be on the horizon, and how global powers like the U.S., China and Russia are influencing the future of these measures.
