Foreign sanctions evasion

Foreign sanctions evasion occurs when individuals or entities deliberately bypass government restrictions that limit trade, financial transactions, or interactions with certain countries, organizations, or people. These sanctions are typically imposed to achieve foreign policy goals, like discouraging military aggression or human rights abuses. Evasion strategies may include using third parties, false documentation, or complex financial arrangements to mask the true nature or destination of transactions. Such acts undermine the sanctions' effectiveness, potentially enabling prohibited activities and compromising international efforts to maintain peace, security, or compliance with global agreements.
