Posted by Matt Schmitt on 10/16/17 3:50 PM

On October 12, 2017, Global Affairs Canada published the Consolidated Special Economic Measures Act (SEMA) sanctions list, which contains the names of individuals and entities that have economic sanctions applied to them.

In the news release, Global Affairs Canada states that “the consolidated list is one of the commitments the government made in July in response to recommendations made by the House of Commons Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development in its review of the Special Economic Measures Act and the Freezing Assets of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act.”

As the prohibitions may not apply in the same way to each entity, users are urged to refer to the correct regulation governing a specific individual or entity.
