Welcome to the sixth edition of ICLG Sanctions. Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP is delighted to serve as the Guides Contributing Editors and author of two chapters. This edition covers the economic sanctions laws of 14 jurisdictions, and its opening chapters survey key regulatory and enforcement topics. The Guide brings together the expertise and perspectives of leading practitioners across the world. This publication serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to understand sanctions regimes across jurisdictions and a concise primer on the various forms of sanctions, types of sanctions enforcement, and compliance expectations. Sanctions are increasingly used as an important (and sometimes the primary) tool of foreign policy, as the unprecedented imposition of sanctions targeting Russia as a result of its invasion of Ukraine has made clear, and a number of jurisdictions have increased their focus on the enforcement of sanctions requirements. Regulators have also increased their focus on applying sanctions principles to new frontiers, such as the digital asset space. As sanctions continue to expand and change at a rapid pace, those engaged in international trade are forced to navigate an increasingly complex and sometimes conflicting regulatory environment. We hope the Guide serves as a useful roadmap. We encourage you to contact us with suggestions for future editions.
