  • Sanctions Round Up: First Quarter 2014

    04/03/2014
    The first quarter of 2014 opened with a continued focus on Iran, as US authorities somewhat contradictorily took steps both to ease certain Iranian sanctions, as agreed under the Joint Plan of Action, and to target a number of additional Iranian persons under existing sanctions. The quarter then drew to a close with a flurry of US and EU sanctions activity targeting Russian and Ukrainian persons—and the looming possibility of broader sanctions to follow. US authorities otherwise continued to issue narcotics and terrorism-related sanctions, while the EU amended a handful of country-specific sanctions, including a suspension of the majority of sanctions targeting Zimbabwe.
