I see that there are a few legislative initiatives in the US Congress related to sanctions against Honduras.
H.R. 2716 that would designate the President of Honduras as an SDN.
HR 1574 that would prohibit US assistance to the police or army in Honduras and
S. 388, Human Rights and Anti-Corruption Law for Honduras, which sort of combines the 2 previous ones.
Does anyone have any insight into the chances of these actually passing, and if so when?

Hi all, I saw a question on this forum related to non-profit organizations and their obligations with respect to sanctions compliance. This document from OFAC is a bit old, but may help: https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/126/ngo_humanitarian.pdf

Today is the ACSS Benelux Chapter launch! Join us at 15:00 CET. Key note speaker from the Flanders Strategic Goods Control Unit, on Export Controls and Dual Use Goods. https://sanctionsassociation.org/20210318-ch-benelux/
Hi, I wanted to get some feedback from the group about the Nov 2020 EO 13959 related to Chinese military companies. My question is whether list screening service providers are applying the OFAC 50% rule on the listed entities in this EO. I heard some are. That could generate a lot of hits, because some of the listed military companies have many subs. To me, it appears that the OFAC 50% rule would not apply here, but looking for interpretations from the group.
