Abstract

Navigating the complex, varying and, at times, conflicting regimes governing export controls and economic sanctions presents unique compliance challenges for globalised businesses. Export controls and economic sanctions address related, but distinct, public policy objectives. This paper explores the intersection between the two and proffers best practises for businesses to manage their export control and economic sanctions risks. Section 2 sets out a brief taxonomy of terms and concepts. Section 3 explains the global context for the measures discussed, the Canadian regulatory frameworks and the intersection between the two regulatory regimes. Section 4 discusses ‘best practices’ for counsel and businesses to manage the complex compliance issues arising out of these measures.
