Sanctions Evasion
Sanctions evasion refers to the methods and strategies used by individuals, businesses, or governments to bypass economic penalties imposed by countries or international organizations. These sanctions are typically aimed at restricting trade, financial transactions, or access to resources to influence political behavior or deter undesirable actions, such as violations of human rights or aggression. Evasion can involve creating shell companies, using third-party intermediaries, engaging in deceptive practices, or utilizing alternative currencies to conduct transactions without detection, undermining the effectiveness of the sanctions intended to change behavior or prevent specific activities.
