In this context, international economic sanctions constitute a daily ‘headache’ for businesses wishing to transact internationally.

Depending on the nature of business and the jurisdictions of activity, of an organization they need to comply with the restrictions imposed by multiple international and national actors of global influence.  The restrictions in name are changing constantly, due to geopolitical changes around the world.
