Description
International trade sanctions are seen as a growing political tool that can be effective in curbing rogue nations and impeding criminals and terrorists from obtaining weapons and financing. At the same time, the patchwork of international regulations and enforcement priorities creates a difficult landscape for legitimate companies, banks and individuals conducting business across borders. This panel will explore recent trends and topics in the international enforcement of trade sanctions, including discussing how multiple enforcement regimes cooperate (or fail to) with one another and how to best navigate the shifting international sanctions landscape.
