The objective of the training is to impart insights into the obligations, expectations, and practical standards related to the identification and handling of sanctions and embargoes.

Sanctions and embargoes can be imposed at the local, European, and international levels and are a tool used for various purposes, including foreign policy, combating terrorism and its financing, or combating the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Violations of obligations regarding sanctions and embargoes can therefore lead to criminal sanctions and serious reputational damage.
