People for Profit,? a 2018 report from the Leiden Asia Centre, reveals that North Korean forced labor is still prevalent in the European Union, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, despite sanctions.00The report demonstrates how companies hire North Koreans through lending structures at shipyards, building sites, in horticulture, and in construction of monuments and statues in Africa.
