Episode notes
Enforcement Is The Weak Link
- Enforcement is the missing pillar in current sanctions regimes and has been weak across the US, UK and EU.
- Stronger enforcement would make sanctions more effective and deter evasion by companies and third countries.
U.S. Political Will Is Uncertain
- The U.S. administration has shown limited appetite for new Russia sanctions since taking office.
- That lack of action raises questions about political will to use sanctions as leverage.
EU Must Lead And Police Sanctions
- The EU should lead on sanctions and educate member states on how to enforce them effectively.
- Europe must police the regime to remind companies of the real consequences for violations.
