The North Korea Sanctions Enforcement Act of 2013 () was a bill that increases the sanctions against North Korea, sanctions that are meant to punish or deter North Korea from pursuing nuclear proliferation.〔〔 The bill was passed by the United States House of Representatives during the 113th United States Congress, but never passed the Senate. ==Background== North Korea–United States relations developed primarily during the Korean War, but in recent years have been largely defined by North Korea's three tests of nuclear weapons, its development of long-range missiles capable of striking targets thousands of miles away, and its ongoing threats to strike the United States and South Korea with nuclear weapons and conventional forces. The 2013 Korean crisis, also referred to as the North Korean crisis by media, was an escalation of tensions between North Korea and South Korea, the United States, and Japan that began because of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2087, which condemned North Korea for the launch of Kwangmyŏngsŏng-3 Unit 2. The crisis was marked by extreme escalation of rhetoric by the new North Korean administration under Kim Jong-un and actions suggesting imminent nuclear attacks against South Korea, Japan, and the United States. According to a recent Gallup poll, North Korea is the most disliked nation in the United States, with only about 11% of Americans viewing North Koreans favorably. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「North Korea Sanctions Enforcement Act of 2013」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
