"The closure of the panel is reminiscent of a historical verdict on this illegal, conspiratorial organization that has served as a tool of U.S. and Western hegemony," he said.

As a result, Japan, the United States and South Korea are considering establishing a new external organization to replace the expert panel in order to continue to monitor North Korea's violations of sanctions.
