US sanctions... Challenges and Risks

By Dr. Ghazi Wazne

 The Hezbollah International Financing Prevention Act of 2015 (H.R. 2297) was issued by the United States on December 18, 2015 and its implementation rules adopted in mid-April 2016.

The law aims at further tightening the financial embargo against Hezbollah and drying up its financing sources by curbing its financial transactions and denying it access to the international financial system in general and specifically the American system. The Act not only targets Hezbollah but also its institutions and members and all those who deal with the party and its service providers. Furthermore, the Act expands the designation of Hezbollah from a “terrorist organization” to a “significant foreign narcotics trafficker and a significant transnational criminal organization”.
