Sanctions |
Economic and trade sanctions are imposed by governments or multi-national organisations such as the EU or UN to further foreign policy objectives such as state security or human rights issues. Sanctions generally prohibit financial institutions and entities from entering into, or facilitating transactions involving, sanctioned regimes, designated entities or individuals in order to limit their access to capital markets and goods.
The challenges faced by organisations and relevant individuals to comply with these complex and stringent requirements should not be underestimated nor should the costs of non-compliance.
We have put together a briefing on sanctions to help understand the basis for US action on non US financial institutions.
