  • Summary

    This chapter unveils the intricate machinery driving the implementation of US sanctions. The role of US governmental machinery takes center stage as the chapter scrutinizes the sanctions enforcement infrastructures with special focus on the Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), and the Department of State’s Bureau of International Security and Non-proliferation (ISN). The chapter also dissects the extraterritorial application of sanctions, unraveling the role of the US dollar-denominated global payments system, and enforcement of US sanctions through mechanisms like SWIFT and the Fedwire Network, while also exploring major challenges posed to this system by emerging alternatives.
