官方声明于周五表示，澳大利亚对两家朝鲜公司和两名“金融中间人”实施了制裁，理由是他们“资助”该国的“非法武器计划”。
Australia has sanctioned two North Korean companies and two “financial brokers” for "financing" the country's "unlawful weapons programs," an official statement said Friday.
外交部长黄英贤在声明中表示：“受到制裁的朝鲜实体和个人……协助朝鲜利用欺诈性IT工人为该政权的核武器和弹道导弹计划筹集资金。”
"The North Korean entities and individuals sanctioned ... facilitate North Korea’s use of fraudulent IT workers to raise revenue for the regime’s nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs," said Foreign Minister Penny Wong in a statement.
她补充道：“这些 workers（工人）在冒充其他国家国民的同时获得远程就业，这构成了对联合国安理会禁止朝鲜劳务输出决议的违反。”
"These workers obtain remote employment while posing as nationals of other countries, constituting a violation of UN Security Council resolutions that prohibit North Korea’s export of labour," she added.
据澳大利亚广播公司报道，被澳大利亚制裁的两名男子为沈贤燮（Sim Hyon Sop，音译）和于秉雄（Yu Py Ung，音译），他们被“美国当局确定为该政权的关键金融中间人”。
The two men sanctioned by Australia as Sim Hyon Sop and Yu Py Ung, who were “identified by US authorities as key financial brokers for the regime," according to ABC News.
报道补充说，平壤方面“一再否认建立影子金融网络，并称针对它的指控是捏造的”。由于其核计划，朝鲜依然是受制裁最多的国家之一。
Pyongyang has “repeatedly denied setting up shadow financial networks and says the allegations against it are fabricated,” the report added. North Korea remains one of the most sanctioned nations due to its nuclear program.
黄英贤表示，这些制裁是“根据多边制裁监督组的调查结果”实施的，“我们正在与包括欧盟在内的国际伙伴协调采取这一行动”。她补充道：“我们呼吁朝鲜全面遵守联合国安理会决议，并朝着完全、可验证且不可逆转的无核化采取具体步骤。”
Wong said the sanctions were imposed "on the findings of the Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team" and "we are taking this action in coordination with international partners, including the European Union." "We call on North Korea to comply fully with UN Security Council resolutions and to take concrete steps towards complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearisation," she added.
堪培拉采取这些行动之前，多边制裁监督组上个月声称，尽管联合国制裁要求遣返朝鲜工人，但仍有35,600至10万多名朝鲜工人滞留在至少17个国家，主要集中在中国和俄罗斯。其中一些人参与了在俄罗斯制造军用无人机。
Canberra's actions come after Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team last month claimed that 35,600 to more than 100,000 North Korean workers remained in at least 17 countries, mainly China and Russia, despite UN sanctions requiring their repatriation. Some were involved in manufacturing military drones in Russia.
然而，平壤方面拒绝了此类说法，指责该小组将合法的经济合作歪曲为违反联合国制裁的行为。
Pyongyang, however, has rejected such claims, accusing the group of misrepresenting legitimate economic cooperation as violations of UN sanctions.
朝鲜外务省称多边制裁监督组是“一个缺乏任何合法性的幽灵集团”。该监督组成立于2024年10月，此前俄罗斯阻止了负责监督对朝鲜制裁的联合国专家小组授权的续期。
The North Korean Foreign Ministry called the Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team a “ghost group lacking any legality." The monitoring team was established in October 2024 after Russia blocked renewal of the mandate of the UN Panel of Experts responsible for monitoring sanctions on North Korea.
其11个成员国包括美国、韩国、日本、澳大利亚、加拿大、法国、德国、意大利、荷兰、新西兰和英国。
Its 11 members are the US, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the UK.
