Download or read book The Complete Guide to Sanctions written by Dominic Suszek and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-12-23 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the battle against global financial crimes continues, the efforts to hinder the progression of newer, more effective criminal activities are constantly evolving and increasing to meet growing challenges. In years past, the primary focus had been to simply keep organizations and their client-bases secure. However, as new pervasive threats to financial security continue to emerge on the global platform on a regular basis, today's financial service providers are faced with much greater responsibility. Quite often, new compliance regulations are introduced in response to current money laundering and terrorism financing exploits seen across the globe, ultimately shifting the regulatory landscape at both national and international levels. While these regulations allow financial institutions to reduce their susceptibility to financial crime and avoid potential damage to their international reputation(s), they also can prove to be rather burdensome for compliance departments of said institutions. In many cases, businesses that fail in remaining compliant face significant consequences, such as issuance of severe monetary fines and sanctions against them, and occasionally the revoking of banking licenses for breaches of anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. In order to avoid these repercussions, banks have turned to increases in the designation and allocation of funds, manpower, and other resources to aid in the regulatory compliance cause, often hampering the ability of other departments in an institution to effectively perform their respective duties. Thus the need for advancement of cost-effective alternatives to manual processes, such as the use of cutting-edge automated systems to improve upon this cycle are vital, specifically when taking areas of critical importance, with histories of considerable complexity and high potential for error, such as the screening and filtering processes, into account. Sanctions and Watchlist screening & filtering processes have evolved into two of the more vital areas of focus for financial institutions (FI's) worldwide in regards to their abilities to continue the battle against financial crime while remaining compliant with the latest anti-money laundering (AML) and counterterrorist financing (CTF) regulations seen today. Yet the screening process can be quite a formidable task, and must be managed effectively to ensure that no criminal activity has gone undetected. Written by esteemed writer Dominic Suszek, an expert with a wealth of firsthand knowledge of the financial services sector and a groundbreaking figure in the now-thriving anti-money laundering software community, The Complete Sanctions Guide offers a thorough template for understanding and managing one of the of the more intricate areas of regulatory compliance seen today, sanctions compliance. This comprehensive guide is the fourth in a series of compliance literature published by Suszek, CEO of the thriving AML/CTF software fixture Global RADAR Solutions, and the first to primarily spotlight several of the ever-evolving areas of sanctions compliance including OFAC compliance requirements, penalties, and risk assessment, Foreign Terrorist Organizations, sanctions screening technology available on today's market, and individual sanctions histories, measures, and applications for the United States, United Nations and the European Union, respectively. With progressive industry insight and up-to-date information found from cover to cover, The Complete Sanctions Guide is the first handbook of its kind that offers the potential to drastically alter the sanctions compliance capabilities of financial institutions around the world simply based on the sheer amount of indispensable information held within.

Download or read book The Art of Sanctions written by Richard Nephew and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nations and international organizations are increasingly using sanctions as a means to achieve their foreign policy aims. However, sanctions are ineffective if they are executed without a clear strategy responsive to the nature and changing behavior of the target. In The Art of Sanctions, Richard Nephew offers a much-needed practical framework for planning and applying sanctions that focuses not just on the initial sanctions strategy but also, crucially, on how to calibrate along the way and how to decide when sanctions have achieved maximum effectiveness. Nephew—a leader in the design and implementation of sanctions on Iran—develops guidelines for interpreting targets’ responses to sanctions based on two critical factors: pain and resolve. The efficacy of sanctions lies in the application of pain against a target, but targets may have significant resolve to resist, tolerate, or overcome this pain. Understanding the interplay of pain and resolve is central to using sanctions both successfully and humanely. With attention to these two key variables, and to how they change over the course of a sanctions regime, policy makers can pinpoint when diplomatic intervention is likely to succeed or when escalation is necessary. Focusing on lessons learned from sanctions on both Iran and Iraq, Nephew provides policymakers with practical guidance on how to measure and respond to pain and resolve in the service of strong and successful sanctions regimes.

This book is intended as an overview of this complex and dynamic body of law. It proves to be a valuable resource to both seasoned and novice practitioners alike, providing a thorough and practical guide that can assist counsel and compliance professionals in identifying the myriad issues, navigating the rules, and managing client risks in the challenging but fascinating area of export controls and economic sanctions law.

Download or read book Export Control Law and Regulations Handbook written by Yann Aubin and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2016-05-15 with total page 746 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of export control laws and regulations in international trade continues to grow, not only because of the increase in world trade and technology dispersion, but also due to concerns surrounding national and regional stability and the risk of terrorism. Accordingly, familiarity with export control laws and regulations around the world has become extremely important for those involved in the international trade of dual-use or military goods, technology, and services. In this preeminent handbook, now in its third edition, two experienced professionals have gathered contributions from expert practitioners and academics. The third edition adds three new country chapters (Brazil, Israel, and Sweden) and a new separate chapter on sanctions and embargoes. In addition to chapters on the international regime in general, the book provides a practical overview of the export/import control regimes covering defence and dual-use goods and services in fourteen key jurisdictions. Country reports each follow the same structure for easy comparison. Issues and topics covered include the following and much more: • import/export legal and regulatory requirements for controlled goods and services; • sanctions for breach of such requirements (civil, administrative, or criminal); • licence application processes; • arms, dual-use and other products embargo (including chemical and biological materials and technology); and • enforcement measures. The Handbook also makes available, through an online application, all important standard export control–related forms, templates, and other related documents, all of which readers can use to draft their own documents. The Handbook is invaluable to any professional (such as lawyers, compliance key players, procurement, logistics, finance and customs practitioners) working in relation to an organisation with a need to know the specific requirements to be followed for the efficient - and legally compliant - import or export of controlled military or dual-use goods, technologies or services.

Download or read book Sanctions written by Bruce W. Jentleson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Even before the extensive sanctions imposed on Russia for its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, it was hard to browse the news without seeing reports of yet another set of sanctions. The United States has sanctions against over 30 countries as well as drug traffickers, terrorist organizations and specially designated individuals. China long has been a target of sanctions and in recent years increasingly a wielder against countries and companies even organizations like the National Basketball Association (NBA). Russia also has been sanctions sender as well as target. The European Union has joined some of the American sanctions as well as imposing its own. In some cases the United Nations has authorized fully multilateral sanctions. While being used more frequently in recent years sanctions go back decades, indeed centuries, to such cases as the 432 BC Athens against Sparta and Napoleon's 1808-1814 Continental System. Given such frequency of use, you'd think sanctions were a sure-fire weapon. Yet the record is quite mixed. So some initial puzzles: Why are economic sanctions used so much? What are the key factors affecting their success? These and related questions are well suited for an Oxford University Press What Everyone Needs to Know book. They long have been important among international relations scholars, spanning international security and international political economy subfields. And with sanctions such a recurring foreign policy strategy, they are crucial for policy makers. As someone who has both studied sanctions as a scholar and worked on these issues while serving in key U.S. foreign policy positions, Bruce W. Jentleson is well suited to provide analysis valuable for students, scholars and practitioners"--
