Sanctions Programs

Information regarding the various active sanctions programs and jurisdictional risk assessments maintained by EESI Global.

Program Overview

EESI Global administers multiple sanctions programs categorized by geographical region or specific types of illicit activity. These programs are designed to be dynamic, responding to evolving threats within the global financial and digital asset landscape.

Geographic Sanctions Programs

These programs target specific countries or regimes where systemic violations of international norms, human rights, or economic integrity have been identified. They involve broad-based restrictions on transactions with government entities and identified key industrial sectors.

Key active programs include those related to high-risk jurisdictions currently under enhanced monitoring by the EESI Global regulatory board.

Thematic Sanctions Programs

Thematic programs are not tied to a specific location but focus on specific activities regardless of where they occur. These include:

  • Cyber-Related Sanctions: Targeting individuals and entities involved in significant malicious cyber-enabled activities.
  • Counter-Terrorism: Focused on disrupting the financial networks of designated terrorist organizations.
  • Digital Asset Misuse: Specifically addressing the use of blockchain technology for money laundering and sanctions evasion.

Implementation & Guidance

For each active program, EESI Global provides detailed interpretive guidance to help compliance officers understand the scope of prohibited activities and the necessary steps for risk mitigation.
