US Enacts "Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act" Expanding Its Russia, Iran, and North Korea Sanctions Programs | White & Case LLP International Law Firm, Global Law Practice

On August 2, 2017, the President signed into law the "Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act," providing a number of new sanctions against Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The President also issued a signing statement setting forth the Administration's views on the contents and constitutionality of the Act.

The Act includes the following sanctions measures relating to each of the three sanctions programs:

Russia: The Act codifies existing sanctions under the cybersecurity and Ukraine/Russia-related sanctions programs; tightens restrictions under sectoral sanctions by adding new sectors and shortening maturity dates for Directives 1, 2, and 4; adds additional sanctions measures by providing for secondary sanctions for persons determined to be engaging in certain activities relating to the Russian energy, defense, or intelligence sectors and for persons determined to be assisting or providing support for significant activities undermining cybersecurity; and requires the President to block and prohibit all transactions in property and interests in property of persons determined to be engaging in significant activities undermining cybersecurity, Russian Government officials or close associates or relatives of Russian Government officials determined to be engaging in acts of significant corruption, foreign persons determined to be evading sanctions, foreign persons determined to be committing human rights abuses, or foreign persons determined to be providing or engaging in activities related to providing arms to Syria.

Iran: The Act requires the President to block and prohibit all transactions in property and interests in property of persons determined to be providing support to Iran's ballistic missile program or engaging in activities that materially contribute to Iran's acquisition of specified arms and related materials or providing technical training, financial resources, or other services related to the acquisition or use of such materials; authorizes the President to block and prohibit all transactions in property and interests in property of foreign persons or their agents who are determined to have committed human rights abuses against certain parties; and requires the President to designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps ("IRGC") and foreign persons that are officials, agents, and associates of the IRGC as Specially Designated Global Terrorists ("SDGTs") on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons ("SDN List") administered by the US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC").

North Korea: The Act provides for additional sanctions measures to aid in the enforcement of United Nations ("UN") Security Council Resolutions and to counteract the commission of human rights abuses, particularly those related to forced labor, by requiring the designation of parties determined to be acquiring certain types of ore from North Korea or conducting activities relating to designated aircraft or vessels; authorizing the designation of parties determined to be operating in the transportation, mining, energy, or financial services industries of North Korea or determined to have purchased specified items from, conducted transfers for, or provided certain materials to the North Korean Government; prohibiting US persons from operating correspondent accounts for the benefit of North Korea; requiring the withholding of assistance from foreign governments determined to be providing to or receiving from North Korea defense articles or services; requiring additional restrictions on North Korean vessels and vessels of countries not complying with UN Security Council Resolutions relating to North Korea; prohibiting the import of North Korean goods unless it can be proven by "clear and convincing evidence that [they]…were not produced with convict labor, forced labor, or indentured labor under penal sanctions"; and requiring the President to block and prohibit all transactions in property and interests in property of foreign persons identified as employing North Korean laborers.

For all three programs, the Act expands the scope of activities for which a party could be designated on OFAC's SDN List. For individuals and entities on the SDN List, all transactions in property and interests in property of these individuals and entities located in the United States or within the possession or control of a US person, wherever located, are considered blocked and may not be dealt in. Any entity in which one or more blocked persons directly or indirectly holds a 50 percent or greater ownership interest in the aggregate is itself considered blocked by operation of law. US persons may not engage in any dealings, directly or indirectly, with blocked persons.

So here is my question to the board.

In light of this Act, why was Barak Hussein Obama weak in his stance against Russia, China, Iran and North Korea, and in fact appeared to coddle them, defer to them, and even assist them in their agendas? Why did Hillary Clinton in her laughable stint as Secretary of State kiss up to Putin, Russia, and their Agenda?

Why by contrast is President Trump and his Administration so Stern in their policies towards the same, and knowing this, why would anyone with a logical mind declare that Russia tried to influence our elections (Never Proven) in the hopes Donald Trump would be president, when Obama Bin Lying and Hillary Rotten Clinton were always willing to sell America out to China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea?

If Putin indeed is The All Powerful, All Knowing, All Controlling Leader of Russia, and he preferred Donald Trump, then why is there No KGB style Clinton Dossier that was Illegally used in a FISA Court to try to spy on The Trump Campaign for Obama and Cankles and then why did their Sycophants in The FBI and DOJ Fraudulently and illegally Petition The Unconstitutional FISA Court with The Dirty Dossier, and use Russian Propaganda to launch a COUP against the President to try to derail his Presidency and remove him from office?

I would say the current ACT being discussed in this thread is indeed a REFORM and represents a 180 degree turn from The Collusion of The Obama Administration with our Adversaries.

Would you agree?

It's much better than Obama promising Putin in a hot mic moment that he'd give him a blow job in The Oral Office as soon as the election was over.

So here is my question to the board.

In light of this Act, why was Barak Hussein Obama weak in his stance against Russia, China, Iran and North Korea, and in fact appeared to coddle them, defer to them, and even assist them in their agendas? Why did Hillary Clinton in her laughable stint as Secretary of State kiss up to Putin, Russia, and their Agenda?

Why by contrast is President Trump and his Administration so Stern in their policies towards the same, and knowing this, why would anyone with a logical mind declare that Russia tried to influence our elections (Never Proven) in the hopes Donald Trump would be president, when Obama Bin Lying and Hillary Rotten Clinton were always willing to sell America out to China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea?

If Putin indeed is The All Powerful, All Knowing, All Controlling Leader of Russia, and he preferred Donald Trump, then why is there No KGB style Clinton Dossier that was Illegally used in a FISA Court to try to spy on The Trump Campaign for Obama and Cankles and then why did their Sycophants in The FBI and DOJ Fraudulently and illegally Petition The Unconstitutional FISA Court with The Dirty Dossier, and use Russian Propaganda to launch a COUP against the President to try to derail his Presidency and remove him from office?

Thank you for sharing your mental masturbation's, they enlighten us all into your intellectual machinations.

Thank you for the idiot-gram

LOL, the Left can't debate the facts, so they post nonsense. Got socialism?

 

[JLW]

I don't know why it is so difficult to pass a combating all foreign influence in US elections. The OP's post is disingenuous about pointing the finger at Democrats while completely ignoring the role of Russia, and it was real, in the 2016 race. Regardless of whether that interference and/or meddling had any real world consequence, the issue of foreign meddling must be dealt with or these bad actors will only be emboldened in the future.

In the matter of foreign governmental interference, stop with the partisan bullshit and maybe we can get some decent legislation passed. I don't give a shit which party benefits, foreign interference must cease as well as all dark money from overseas.

Obama was feckless and weak in dealing with the Russians and Trump has had to be taken kicking and screaming into sanctioning Russia. It is time politicians put the nation first.

Honestly, I am tired of the partisan bullshit on this issue.

The Role of Russia was to Defeat Donald Trump by assisting Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton in Obtaining a KGB authored Russian Propaganda Dossier to be Utilized by Communist Sympathizers and Clinton and Obama Sycophants in The FBI and DOJ to apply for an Illegal and Fraudulent Surveillance Warrant from an Extra Constitutional Secret Court, in the hopes they could defeat Donald Trump through The Politics of Personal Destruction, and then Launch a Coup if that failed from inside The Government.

Clinton, Obama, Comey, Strozk, Ohr, McCabe, Mueller and the whole sordid lot, offered themselves WILLINGLY as Russian Stooges to Vladimir Putin, and there is NO Denying that.

The Democrat Party is incapable of combating Communism or Resisting the Agenda of Vladimir Putin because they are rife with Communists and Marxist themselves.

The Leftist Resistance Movement is Resisting Democracy in Favor of Communism, so they may as well hoist the hammer and sickle as their symbol, for at least we would know who they really are, and what their true agenda is. But I have never met an Honest Communist, have you?

Iran: The Act requires the President to block and prohibit all transactions in property and interests in property of persons determined to be providing support to Iran's ballistic missile program or engaging in activities that materially contribute to Iran's acquisition of specified arms and related materials or providing technical training, financial resources, or other services related to the acquisition or use of such materials; authorizes the President to block and prohibit all transactions in property and interests in property of foreign persons or their agents who are determined to have committed human rights abuses against certain parties; and requires the President to designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps ("IRGC") and foreign persons that are officials, agents, and associates of the IRGC as Specially Designated Global Terrorists ("SDGTs") on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons ("SDN List") administered by the US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC").

North Korea: The Act provides for additional sanctions measures to aid in the enforcement of United Nations ("UN") Security Council Resolutions and to counteract the commission of human rights abuses, particularly those related to forced labor, by requiring the designation of parties determined to be acquiring certain types of ore from North Korea or conducting activities relating to designated aircraft or vessels; authorizing the designation of parties determined to be operating in the transportation, mining, energy, or financial services industries of North Korea or determined to have purchased specified items from, conducted transfers for, or provided certain materials to the North Korean Government; prohibiting US persons from operating correspondent accounts for the benefit of North Korea; requiring the withholding of assistance from foreign governments determined to be providing to or receiving from North Korea defense articles or services; requiring additional restrictions on North Korean vessels and vessels of countries not complying with UN Security Council Resolutions relating to North Korea; prohibiting the import of North Korean goods unless it can be proven by "clear and convincing evidence that [they]…were not produced with convict labor, forced labor, or indentured labor under penal sanctions"; and requiring the President to block and prohibit all transactions in property and interests in property of foreign persons identified as employing North Korean laborers.

For all three programs, the Act expands the scope of activities for which a party could be designated on OFAC's SDN List.

Contrary to the entire premise of your claims the Russian government attacked the United States to aid the Republican party. The Russian attacked DNC servers to aid the Republican Party. And Russia targed Republican aligned NRA for its influence operation.

The Russian Government did no such thing.

There has never been one ounce of proof to show that. Only an accusation by Hillary Clinton, The DNC, and Debra Schultz.

There were, however Pakistani Hackers working at The DNC for Clinton with Criminal Records hired by Hillary Clinton and Schultz to hack in to Congressional Records for purposes of blackmailing their opponents, only Clinton and Schultz did not bargain on The Pakistanis being Opportunists, and when they logged in to Podesta's email account....Logged In.........Not Hacked as they had his password and administrative rights to change it if they wanted to, what they found was too juicy not to sell on the open market and share with Seth Rich and Julian Assange. There is no evidence AT ALL Russia did anything.

And if they did, They would never leave evidence of it at all.

So your argument is that after Obama sold Russia our Uranium, Allowed Putin to expand his Natural Gas Pipelines in to Europe, pulled defensive missile systems away from The Russian Border, closed NATO Bases, Drastically Scuttled our Military and Drastically cut back our Military Budget, and Left our Military in Disrepair, gave Russia The Crimea, Sent Hillary Clinton with a Reset Button to kiss Vladimir's Ass, told Putin he could do him some favors after the election, allowed Russia in to Syria and allowed them to build military bases there and to Cache Weapons there, and not only gave Iran $150 Billion Dollars, but also made it possible for them to develop Nuclear Weapons and buy Weapons again from Russia, that Vladimir Putin hated dealing with Obama and Clinton so much, that he had to get Trump Elected, and that is why he produced The Dirty Dossier and handed it over to Hillary Clinton and Obama to attack Donald Trump with During The Election?

You realize that you sound INSANE, don't you? Seek help.

Russia: The Act codifies existing sanctions under the cybersecurity and Ukraine/Russia-related sanctions programs; tightens restrictions under sectoral sanctions by adding new sectors and shortening maturity dates for Directives 1, 2, and 4; adds additional sanctions measures by providing for secondary sanctions for persons determined to be engaging in certain activities relating to the Russian energy, defense, or intelligence sectors and for persons determined to be assisting or providing support for significant activities undermining cybersecurity; and requires the President to block and prohibit all transactions in property and interests in property of persons determined to be engaging in significant activities undermining cybersecurity, Russian Government officials or close associates or relatives of Russian Government officials determined to be engaging in acts of significant corruption, foreign persons determined to be evading sanctions, foreign persons determined to be committing human rights abuses, or foreign persons determined to be providing or engaging in activities related to providing arms to Syria.

Iran: The Act requires the President to block and prohibit all transactions in property and interests in property of persons determined to be providing support to Iran's ballistic missile program or engaging in activities that materially contribute to Iran's acquisition of specified arms and related materials or providing technical training, financial resources, or other services related to the acquisition or use of such materials; authorizes the President to block and prohibit all transactions in property and interests in property of foreign persons or their agents who are determined to have committed human rights abuses against certain parties; and requires the President to designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps ("IRGC") and foreign persons that are officials, agents, and associates of the IRGC as Specially Designated Global Terrorists ("SDGTs") on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons ("SDN List") administered by the US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC").

North Korea: The Act provides for additional sanctions measures to aid in the enforcement of United Nations ("UN") Security Council Resolutions and to counteract the commission of human rights abuses, particularly those related to forced labor, by requiring the designation of parties determined to be acquiring certain types of ore from North Korea or conducting activities relating to designated aircraft or vessels; authorizing the designation of parties determined to be operating in the transportation, mining, energy, or financial services industries of North Korea or determined to have purchased specified items from, conducted transfers for, or provided certain materials to the North Korean Government; prohibiting US persons from operating correspondent accounts for the benefit of North Korea; requiring the withholding of assistance from foreign governments determined to be providing to or receiving from North Korea defense articles or services; requiring additional restrictions on North Korean vessels and vessels of countries not complying with UN Security Council Resolutions relating to North Korea; prohibiting the import of North Korean goods unless it can be proven by "clear and convincing evidence that [they]…were not produced with convict labor, forced labor, or indentured labor under penal sanctions"; and requiring the President to block and prohibit all transactions in property and interests in property of foreign persons identified as employing North Korean laborers.

For all three programs, the Act expands the scope of activities for which a party could be designated on OFAC's SDN List. For individuals and entities on the SDN List, all transactions in property and interests in property of these individuals and entities located in the United States or within the possession or control of a US person, wherever located, are considered blocked and may not be dealt in. Any entity in which one or more blocked persons directly or indirectly holds a 50 percent or greater ownership interest in the aggregate is itself considered blocked by operation of law. US persons may not engage in any dealings, directly or indirectly, with blocked persons.

Contrary to the entire premise of your claims the Russian government attacked the United States to aid the Republican party. The Russian attacked DNC servers to aid the Republican Party. And Russia targed Republican aligned NRA for its influence operation.

With the Russian government fighting against the Democrats.

The Russian Government did no such thing.

There has never been one ounce of proof to show that. Only an accusation by Hillary Clinton, The DNC, and Debra Schultz.

There were, however Pakistani Hackers working at The DNC for Clinton with Criminal Records hired by Hillary Clinton and Schultz to hack in to Congressional Records for purposes of blackmailing their opponents, only Clinton and Schultz did not bargain on The Pakistanis being Opportunists, and when they logged in to Podesta's email account....Logged In.........Not Hacked as they had his password and administrative rights to change it if they wanted to, what they found was too juicy not to sell on the open market and share with Seth Rich and Julian Assange. There is no evidence AT ALL Russia did anything.

And if they did, They would never leave evidence of it at all.

So your argument is that after Obama sold Russia our Uranium, Allowed Putin to expand his Natural Gas Pipelines in to Europe, pulled defensive missile systems away from The Russian Border, closed NATO Bases, Drastically Scuttled our Military and Drastically cut back our Military Budget, and Left our Military in Disrepair, gave Russia The Crimea, Sent Hillary Clinton with a Reset Button to kiss Vladimir's Ass, told Putin he could do him some favors after the election, allowed Russia in to Syria and allowed them to build military bases there and to Cache Weapons there, and not only gave Iran $150 Billion Dollars, but also made it possible for them to develop Nuclear Weapons and buy Weapons again from Russia, that Vladimir Putin hated dealing with Obama and Clinton so much, that he had to get Trump Elected, and that is why he produced The Dirty Dossier and handed it over to Hillary Clinton and Obama to attack Donald Trump with During The Election?

You realize that you sound INSANE, don't you? Seek help.

16 intelligence services contradict you, agreeing that Russia attacked the US to benefit Trump. With the republican lead intel committee investigation coming to the same conclusion. There are also a dozen open indictments for Russian government linked hackers who perpetrated the attack on the DNC server.

You ignore ignore it all and pretend none of it exists. Then demand that anyone who acknowledges any of our 16 intel agency's contradiction of your batshit, or the senate intel commitee findings, or the federal indictments of Russian government linked hackers is 'insane'.

Um, no. You're engaged in text book gaslighting. All to cling to your own delusional conspiracies.

Good luck with that.

 

[TNHarley]

So here is my question to the board.

In light of this Act, why was Barak Hussein Obama weak in his stance against Russia, China, Iran and North Korea, and in fact appeared to coddle them, defer to them, and even assist them in their agendas? Why did Hillary Clinton in her laughable stint as Secretary of State kiss up to Putin, Russia, and their Agenda?

Why by contrast is President Trump and his Administration so Stern in their policies towards the same, and knowing this, why would anyone with a logical mind declare that Russia tried to influence our elections (Never Proven) in the hopes Donald Trump would be president, when Obama Bin Lying and Hillary Rotten Clinton were always willing to sell America out to China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea?

If Putin indeed is The All Powerful, All Knowing, All Controlling Leader of Russia, and he preferred Donald Trump, then why is there No KGB style Clinton Dossier that was Illegally used in a FISA Court to try to spy on The Trump Campaign for Obama and Cankles and then why did their Sycophants in The FBI and DOJ Fraudulently and illegally Petition The Unconstitutional FISA Court with The Dirty Dossier, and use Russian Propaganda to launch a COUP against the President to try to derail his Presidency and remove him from office?

Thank you for sharing your mental masturbation's, they enlighten us all into your intellectual machinations.

Thank you for the idiot-gram

Imitation is the highest form of flattery. Do your really take anything the Original Trees posts seriously? I suppose you do, and why you are always stumped by reality.

I think its pretty fair to assume you are just as dumb.
Have a wonderful weekend
