LDP OKs N. Korean sanctions bill The governing Liberal-Democratic Party approved a bill March 17 that would require the government to impose sanctions on North Korea if it failed to make progress in addressing its human rights abuses, including the abductions of Japanese. The LDP plans to submit the proposed legislation to the Diet as a lawmaker-initiated bill, possibly by the end of this month, after consulting March 28 with New Komeito, its coalition partner. LDP members said they also will seek support from the Democratic Party of Japan, its main opposition, to try to get the bill passed in the current Diet session, which will end in June.
