The resolution, adopted in late 2017 following a North Korean missile launch,... compels member states to return all North Korean laborers working within their borders within two years,... that is by the end of this year.
Germany also submitted its implementation report.
It said out of 862 North Korean nationals in Germany as of the end of 2018, 46 are obligated to leave, while the rest have legal residency.
