For decades, compliance with, and enforcement of, export controls and sanctions has been predominantly a reactive mission. The illicit acquisition networks sponsored by certain foreign countries, terrorist organizations, and organized criminal syndicates have exploited industry and threatened economic and international security.
Historically, compliance with regulations has been legal based. The aforementioned entities have learned, over the years, how to circumvent the laws, which has resulted in the growth of illicit acquisition.
As government promotes a risk-based approach to compliance, the need to understand illicit acquisition increases exponentially, and based on that, how to effectively identify red flags, how to mitigate them, and how to focus on the critical risk areas inherent in a company's business operations.
With decades of experience in countering illicit acquisition, regulating and enforcing export controls and sanctions internationally, and assisting companies to comply with the laws, the founding partners determined to establish a network of sanctions and export control societies throughout the U.S., Europe, and in the future, Asia.
In early 2022, our founder approached the Swedish Export Control Society and asked the Board of Directors to assist in establishing the network of European Sanctions and Export Control Societies. Upon agreement, the Swedish Society provided needed guidance to help in establishing the Finnish Sanctions and Export Control Society.
Solid Plan Consulting, FTI Consulting, and Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, dedicated significant resources to create the first society in the network with the assistance of Patria Group, Global Trade Compliance Solutions, Beweship, Borenius, Bock Trade Law, and Miltton USA.
Since the establishment of the Finnish Society, and largely due to its success, the network of societies continues to grow throughout Europe, the United States, and across the Northern Hemisphere.
After nearly 25 years of government service working in export controls, sanctions, and international security, and after 10 years of thought and preparation, our founder incorporated the International Sanctions and Export Control Society with the idea of creating a nonprofit network of societies across the globe dedicated to advancing a holistic risk, threat, and legal-based approach to compliance.
The network of Societies was founded in 2022 by a group of international business professionals, former government regulatory and enforcement officials, and prominent attorneys working in collaboration globally to facilitate secure trade.
The International Sanctions and Export Control Society network continues to grow with new chapters emerging on 6 continents. By becoming a member of one chapter, you are considered a member of all.
Our goal is to coordinate a risk, threat and legal-based approach to complying with multilateral sanctions and export control regulations across all societies and to assist companies and governments in working together to enhance global trade compliance. We will:
The network of societies will coordinate and advocate for members by:
The network of societies will provide training opportunities, to include:
