"North Korea is under a comprehensive and open-ended UN arms embargo that prohibits the exports of weapons to and imports of weapons from the country.  In June 2006 the UN Security Council established an embargo on exports of major arms to and imports from North Korea.  In June 2009 Security Council Resolution 1874 widened the embargo to all arms, except for the export small arms and light weapons to the country. In 2015 the UN Security Council expanded the embargo to include all small arms and light weapons."
