Part 2, titled “Recent Updates in Sanctions and Export Controls,” discussed the impact of recent U.S. actions regarding sanctions and export controls, as well as the effects of compliance guidelines on this legislation; the U.K.’s global human rights sanctions regime and legislative framework; and EU sanctions programs and recent enforcement actions in member states.
