Included Modules:

Sanctions in Latin America: The Basics

Introduces how sanctions work across Latin America, who imposes them, including the UN and bodies like OFAC, and why they affect everyday business decisions.

Embargoes and Sanctions

Explains the difference between broad embargoes and targeted sanctions, who issues them, such as the UN, OFAC, and the EU, and why screening parties matters.

Sanctions Obligations for Financial Institutions

Covers what banks and financial institutions must do to comply, including screening customers, monitoring transactions, and reporting blocked or rejected payments.

Sanctions Obligations for Non-Financial Organizations

Explains how sanctions apply beyond banks, covering screening of customers, suppliers, and partners so non-financial organizations avoid prohibited dealings and penalties.

Why is this training important?

U.S. Export Controls and Sanctions play a pivotal role in safeguarding national security, promoting foreign policy objectives, and preserving global stability. These measures regulate the export of sensitive technologies, goods, and services to prevent them from falling into the hands of adversaries or entities that may pose a threat to U.S. interests. By controlling the export of strategic commodities, dual-use items, and military technologies, companies in the United States can protect their technological edge and prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
