About
2025 has been a landmark year for sanctions developments, marked by major policy shifts and growing fragmentation across global regimes. This session will provide a concise and practical update on recent EU developments, including the 19th sanctions package and explore how organizations can strengthen their due diligence and risk detection frameworks in this evolving environment.

What to expect:
  • 2025 in review: Key sanctions developments related to Russia, Iran and Syria, and the growing divergence in global sanctions policies.
  • EU focus: Deep dive into the 19th sanctions package, with emphasis on the new legal definitions of ownership and control.
  • Global ripple effects: Examination of the wider impact of Russian sanctions and the EU’s expanding use of ancillary listings -including cases across India, China, the UAE, the UK and the Caribbean, and the first EU listings of refineries.
  • Looking ahead to 2026: Continued EU assertiveness, broader enforcement actions and the drive toward greater harmonization of EU sanctions frameworks.

This session will equip compliance and risk professionals with actionable insights and practical examples to reinforce sanctions due diligence in an increasingly fragmented global landscape.
