New control methods: the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation went to exchange experience in the DPRK - ISW

Russia and North Korea seek to expand cooperation in the judiciary. And they have already signed the relevant agreement. For the first time in history in North Korea, the Prosecutor General of Russia went. Igor Krasnov arrived in Pyongyan and discussed Kim Kol Won with his North Korean colleague "Ways of Further Cooperation" and signed an agreement on joint work between the general prosecutors of Russia and North Korea for 2024-2026. About it reports the American Institute of War Study (ISW).

Krasnov and Kim reportedly discussed the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia and North Korea. They have already supported the dialogue since 2010 with a separate cooperation agreement. But the new agreement will probably be much more focused on coverage, reflecting the activation of Russian-noctual Korean cooperation over the last year. ISW analysts emphasize that the DPRK and Russia will regularly exchange legislative acts.

And the Russian Federation "is ready to share its own experience in the development of case law with North Korea, as well as to study North Korean jurisprudence, especially in the fields of communication and information technologies. " ISW has previously reported that both countries have expanded military, political, diplomatic and economic cooperation over the last year. But special attention deserves a clear desire to agree on the judicial and prosecutorial orders of Danny.

The Institute of War Study noted that the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia uses administrative laws as weapons to strengthen the control of the judicial system over Russian society, and recent foreign contacts of Krasnov (in particular, with officials of Iraq and Central African republic) are likely to be partly partially aimed at sharing.

Such judicial control and tactics of law enforcement agencies with friendly states in exchange for the expansion of its own arsenal of methods of internal control of Russia. Russia's interest in North Korean judicial experience in communications and information technologies is likely to reflect the Kremlin's desire to consolidate control over Russian information space, including through platforms in exchange of messages and virtual private networks (VPN).
