Consequences of These Sanctions\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Pursuant to GLOMAG and E.O. 13818, the U.S. Government may sanction foreign persons believed to be involved in serious human rights abuse or corruption in a foreign country, as well as those who assist or provide material support, including goods and services, to the sanctioned persons or activities.\u00a0These foreign persons are added to OFAC\u2019s SDN List, and all of their property and interests in property, within or transiting U.S. jurisdiction or in the possession or control of U.S. persons, are categorically blocked and must be reported to OFAC.\u00a0Additionally, unless authorized by a general or specific license issued by OFAC, U.S. persons or foreigners conducting business in U.S. territory, with U.S. persons, or using U.S. goods or services are prohibited from engaging in transactions with the sanctioned entities and individuals, as well as with entities in which the sanctioned parties have, directly or indirectly, 50% or greater ownership interest.\u00a0Individuals and entities found to be in violation of OFAC sanctions, whether U.S. or foreign, will be exposed to significant civil and criminal penalties, and may themselves be added to OFAC\u2019s SDN list through the enforcement of secondary sanctions.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Legal Options for Sanctioned Individuals and Entities\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Anyone placed on the SDN List by OFAC under GLOMAG has the right to seek removal under an administrative process known as \u201cDe-Listing.\u201d\u00a0To be removed, listed individuals and entities must file a written request with OFAC showing that an insufficient basis exists for OFAC\u2019s sanctions, or that the circumstances resulting in OFAC\u2019s sanctions no longer exist.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
After a De-listing request is submitted, OFAC may request additional information before rendering a written decision.\u00a0If the request for De-Listing is granted, the person\u2019s name, along with related identifying information, are removed from the SDN List. And, if OFAC denies the De-Listing request, administrative remedies are deemed exhausted and listed individuals and entities can subsequently file a civil action with a U.S. District Court seeking judicial review of OFAC\u2019s actions under the Administrative Procedure Act.\u00a0In such a civil action, sanctioned individuals or entities may argue that OFAC\u2019s action should be reversed on grounds that it was arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law.<\/div>\n
