Sanctions Hub
Visit our blog for additional insight into sanctions issues.
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, international sanctions regimes have grown in volume and complexity. Two years on, it is becoming increasingly clear that further expansion of sanctions regimes will be met with strong opposition from governments whose economies would suffer direct consequences, or who are trying to take an independent path in global politics.
Regulators are now shifting their focus to the implementation of existing sanctions, pushing companies to boost their sanctions compliance defences. This is a formidable task for many businesses who will need to approach sanctions risks on many levels: from technical expertise on the movement of certain goods, the complicated due diligence of control and ownership structures, to grasping fluid and divisive geopolitics that drive changes to sanctions regimes.
This report brings together Control Risks analysts, sector experts and leading trade and sanctions lawyers to discuss key sanctions developments and outlooks in different geographies and sectors.
