HMT substitutes new EU Iranian sanctions for existing UK ones

Today, Her Majesty’s Treasury (HMT) passed a new regulation for the purpose of revoking a 2012 regulation that restricted financial dealings between UK financial institutions and Iranian financial institutions.

Why? Because the EU passed its own regulations which were very similar. In order to not have confusion between the two, HTM revoked its regulations in order to substitute the EU ones.

Here are the significant differences, from the press release:

• No licence is required if the transfer between a UK credit or financial institution and an Iranian credit or financial institution is under €10,000.
• No prior authorisation is required if the transfer between a UK credit or financial institution and an Iranian credit or financial institution is a personal remittance and is under €40,000. A prior notification must be sent to the Treasury if the transfer is of €10,000 or more.
• Humanitarian payments involving UK credit and financial institutions and Iranian credit and financial institutions are exempt from the prohibition on transfers of funds between UK credit and financial institutions and Iranian credit and financial institutions if they are of €100,000 or under. A prior notification must be sent to the Treasury if the transfer is of €10,000 or above.
• Article 30(2) of EU Regulation 1263/2012 sets out other grounds on which the Treasury may authorise transfers of funds between UK credit and financial institutions and Iranian credit and financial institutions.
• It remains prohibited to make funds or economic resources directly or indirectly available to any person, entity or body designated under the EU Regulation, including the designated Iranian banks.

The release has a really nice table at the end summarizing the totality of these restrictons, by the way.

The OFAC Book of Why: Côte d’Ivoire Sanctions

This one, which is often not so top-of-mind in the US, comes to OFAC via the United Nations. President George W. Bush issued an Executive Order on February 8, 2006 sanctioning Côte d’Ivoire because:

Despite the intervention and effort of the international community, numerous violations of human rights and international humanitarian law have been perpetrated against civilians during the ongoing political crisis in Côte d’Ivoire. The United Nations Security Council, expressing deep concern about the hostilities and the repeated violations of the May 3, 2003 ceasefire agreement, issued Resolution 1572. It determined that the situation in Côte d’Ivoire poses a threat to international peace and security in the region and called on member states to take certain measures against those responsible.

The Executive Order blocked the “property of persons contributing to the political and social unrest in Côte d’Ivoire.”

OFAC Press release

The OFAC Book of Why: Burma Sanctions

Interesting history of the ebb and flow here – Burmese sanctions started off small, as you’ll see, grew significantly, and are now receding in scope.

Step 1: Executive Order 13047 (May 20, 1997) determines that

Government of Burma has committed large-scale repression of the democratic opposition in Burma and declaring a national emergency with respect to the actions and policies of the Government of Burma. E.O. 13047 … prohibits new investment in Burma by U.S. persons and U.S. persons’ facilitation of new investment in Burma by foreign persons.

Step 2: Burmese Freedom and Democracy Act (BFDA) and Executive Order 13310 (July 28. 2003)

The BFDA requires the President to ban the importation into the United States of products of Burma. To implement the BFDA and take additional steps with respect to the Government of Burma’s continued repression of the democratic opposition in Burma, the President issued Executive Order 13310… E.O. blocks all property and interests in property of the persons listed in its Annex and of certain persons determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to meet the criteria set forth in E.O. 13310…

E.O. 13310 also prohibits the importation into the United States of products of Burma and the exportation or reexportation to Burma of financial services from the United States or by U.S. persons, wherever located.

Step 3: Executive Order 13348 (October 18, 2007) which expands the scope of Executive Order 13047.

Step 4: Executive Order 13464 (April 30, 2008) which expands the scope of Executive Order 13047.

Step 5: Tom Lantos Block Burmese JADE (Junta’s Anti-Democratic Efforts) Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-286) (JADE Act) (July 29, 2008) which

imposes mandatory blocking sanctions on certain categories of persons enumerated in the JADE Act… prohibits the importation of jadeite and rubies mined or extracted from Burma (and of articles of jewelry containing such jadeite and rubies), and establishes conditions for the importation of jadeite and rubies mined or extracted from a country other than Burma (and of articles of jewelry containing such jadeite and rubies).

Now, the sanctions flyer is currently out of date. It reflects General Licenses 14-B (NGO activity) and 15 (Personal Remittances), but does not reflect 16 (Financial Services), 17 (New Investment), or 18 (Import of Burmese Products). These last 3 General Licenses basically gut much of the remaining sanctions. Notably, however, General License 18 does not undo the sanctions of the BFDA as amended by the JADE Act – you still can’t import the rubies & jadeite, etc.

Largely, dealings with the Defense Ministry are still prohibited, but a cursory reading of the General Licenses largely permits dealings with most everyone else.

Don’t be surprised if the entire program is terminated within the next few years if the current trajectory of the Burmese government continues.

The OFAC Book of Why: Belarus Sanctions

Today’s OFAC sanctions program: Belarus

The title of the sanctions program in the sanctions flyer: Executive Order Blocking Property of Certain Persons Undermining Democratic Processes or Institutions in Belarus

On June 19, 2006, President George W. Bush issued an Executive Order sanctioning persons in Belarus who were found:

(A) to be responsible for, or to have participated in, actions or policies that undermine democratic processes or institutions in Belarus;
(B) to be responsible for, or to have participated in, human rights abuses related to political repression in Belarus;
(C) to be a senior-level official, a family member of such an official, or a person closely linked to such an official who is responsible for or has engaged in public corruption related to Belarus;
(D) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services in support of, the activities described in paragraph (a)(ii)(A) through (C) of this section or any person listed in or designated pursuant to this order; or
(E) to be owned or controlled by, or acting or purporting to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person listed in or designated pursuant to this order.

The OFAC Book of Why: Balkans Sanctions

It’s good to understand the reasoning behind sanctions programs – once you get past the ones you kind of know by heart, like the Iranian and terrorism programs. One good reason is that we’re responsible for adding to the SDN list when we hear of someone or some entity that meets the definition of the program.

Let’s start with the name of the sanctions program in the sanctions flyer: Blocking Property of Persons Who Threaten International Stabilization Efforts in the Western Balkans

Now, the Balkans program (did you even realize we still had one?) goes back to 2001’s Executive Order 13219, and sanctions the following:

(i) the persons listed in the Annex to this order; and
(ii) persons designated by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, because they are found:
(A) to have committed, or to pose a significant risk of committing, acts of violence that have the purpose or effect of threatening the peace in or diminishing the stability or security of any area or state in the Western Balkans region, undermining the authority, efforts, or objectives of international organizations or entities present in the region, or endangering the safety of persons participating in or providing support to the activities of those international organizations or entities, or
(B) to have actively obstructed, or to pose a significant risk of actively obstructing, implementation of the Dayton Accords in Bosnia or United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 in Kosovo, or
(C) materially to assist in, sponsor, or provide financial or technological support for, or goods or services in support of, such acts of violence or obstructionism, or
(D) to be owned or controlled by, or acting or purporting to act directly or indirectly for or on behalf of, any of the foregoing persons,

This was then modified by Executive 13304 in 2003 to read:

(A) to be under open indictment by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, unless circumstances warrant otherwise, or
(B) to have committed, or to pose a significant risk of committing, acts of violence that have the purpose or effect of threatening the peace in or diminishing the stability or security of any
area or state in the Western Balkans region, undermining the authority, efforts, or objectives of international organizations or entities present in the region, or endangering the safety of persons participating in or providing support to the activities of those international organizations or entities, or
(C) to have actively obstructed, or pose a significant risk of actively obstructing, the Ohrid Framework Agreement of 2001 relating to Macedonia, United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 relating to Kosovo, or the Dayton Accords or the Conclusions of the Peace Implementation Conference held in London on December 8-9, 1995, including the decisions or conclusions of the High Representative, the Peace Implementation Council or its Steering Board, relating to Bosnia and Herzegovina, or
(D) to have materially assisted in, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services in support of, such acts of violence or obstructionism or any person listed in or designated pursuant to this order, or
(E) to be owned or controlled by, or acting or purporting to act directly or indirectly for or on behalf of, any person listed in or designated pursuant to this order,
that are or hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of United States persons, are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in.
