What is SanctIO?

What are sanctions?

Against the background of (inter) national sanctions laws and regulations, the meaning of "sanctions" is derived from French and means: coercive measure, punishment.

If a country does not comply with international rules and human rights, the United Nations, the EU, the US and of course other countries can impose sanctions. A sanction is a coercive measure that can apply to individuals, groups, organizations and countries and is the punishment for certain undesirable behavior.

These international sanctions involve risks for entrepreneurs who trade internationally: a payment that is stopped, goods that do not get through, a heavy fine or damage to their reputation. It is often difficult for exporting companies to assess these risks in advance.
