The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is also upgrading its east coast facility (see figure VII). It is now apparent that construction, under way since the summer of 2011, is for a new launch pad and other related facilities (e.g. assembly and launch control buildings). These seem larger than the ones of the west coast facility, which were completed less than two years ago and may already accommodate muchlarger rockets than the ones launched in April and December 2012 (see para. 36 of S/2012/422).

S/<strong>2013</strong>/<strong>337</strong> 36. In January and March <strong>2013</strong>, the Security Council designated two entities, the Korean <strong>Committee</strong> for Space Technology and the Second Academy of Natural Sciences, 17 which were involved in the preparation and execution of the recent launch, as well as two employees of the former, Paek Chang-Ho and Chang Myong- Chin, who played key roles in the launch.

As previously reported by the Panel, the Munitions Industry Department 18 of the Central <strong>Committee</strong> of the Korean Workers’ Party plays a central role in both the nuclear and missile programmes of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (see para. 55 of S/2010/571). Representatives of the Munitions Industry Department participated in the December launch preparatory meeting mentioned above (see figure VIII). It is noteworthy that Pak To-Chun, the Secretary, is one of a very limited number of officials who accompanied Kim Jong-Un when he inspected the Unha-3 prior to it being transported to the west coast launch facility (see figure IX) and to the General Satellite Control and Command Center, where he ordered and observed the launch on 12 December 2012 (see figure X). 19 Furthermore, Hong Sung-Mu, the Deputy Director, was next to Kim Jong-Un when he visited the west coast facility on 14 December 2012 (see figure XI). These are clear indications that the Munitions Industry Department had an important role in this launch.
