What's PROVEN is these countries grow immune to restrictions by finding ways around it, You know darn well that NK is buying goods from Countries that we do trade with, The only way a trade embargo is really going to work is using a blockade to completely off NK from the outside world.
As for cutting off aid, I doubt that will work either, Were dealing with a Country that cares nothing about it's people, as one poster indicated earlier.
