  • Sanctions and Export Control Developments in the First 50 Days of the Biden Administration
    Sanctions and Export Control Developments in the First 50 Days of the Biden Administration By Elizabeth G. Silver, John E. Bradley and Aleksandra Rybicki March 17, 2021 Monitoring sanctions developments as a heat map for U.S. foreign policy and national security under the Biden Administration. As the calendar flipped past the 50th day of President Joe Biden’s administration on March 11, 2021, a survey of economic sanctions and export control-related developments shows where the Administration felt a pressing need to impose new sanctions, alter existing policies or, in several areas, clarify existing programs. To date, we have not seen substantial changes to any ongoing sanctions programs by the Biden Administration, but we will be watching complex hot spots such as China and Iran as the Administration works through the nuances of its foreign policy and deepens its diplomatic efforts over the coming weeks and months. In this bulletin, we share our thinking on these early developments with our clients and friends to help you keep your sanctions programs current and monitor shifting risk levels posed by your international operations. Africa Democratic Republic of the Congo and Mozambique The Biden Administration advanced the long-standing sanctions program against foreign terrorist organizations operating on the African continent with the designation by the Department of State of two affiliates of the Islamic State, one each in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Mozambique, as “foreign terrorist organizations,” adding them to the Office of Foreign Assets Control’s (“OFAC”) Specially Designated Nationals (“SDN”) List and subjecting them to broad sanctions. Allied Democratic Forces (also known as ISIS-DRC (“ADF”)) and Ansar al-Sunna (also known as ISIS- Mozambique) are believed to be responsible for multiple attacks on civilians and government security forces that have Vedder Price P.C.

  • Southeast Asia Readjusting External Relations
    Chapter 4 Southeast Asia Readjusting External Relations Yoshihide Matsuura (lead author, Sections 1 (1) and 2 (1) & (3)) Hideo Tomikawa (Sections 1 (2), 2 (2) and 3) In Southeast Asia during 2018, regarding the South China Sea issue, while the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) adhered to a stance that placed emphasis on balanced relationships with countries outside the region under the chairmanship of Singapore, there was a lack of meaningful steps to halt China’s militarization of reclaimed features in the South China Sea and conclude a Code of Conduct in the South China Sea (COC). Opinions of individual Southeast Asian countries on this issue differ, and ASEAN is striving to sustain its own unity while taking into account countries with concerns about causing conflicts with China. Meanwhile, it is necessary to strengthen maritime security in order to address the proliferation of terrorism. Japan, the United States, Australia, and other countries are helping to improve the capabilities of Southeast Asian countries via international cooperation and exchanges, and China is also seeking to bolster ties with ASEAN and each of its member countries through such cooperation. Nevertheless, the United States has an advantage in training, equipping, and other assistance because it has given practical cooperation over many years. From the perspective of the importance of democracy, a shared ASEAN value, attention will be paid to the political situations in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Myanmar, which are each at different stages of democratization, and their security implications. Malaysia realized its first-ever change of government in the general election held in May.
