“The Next Frontier: Overcoming Crime and Corruption in Post-Sanctions States,” by Susan Carter, George A. Lopez, and Alistair Millar, Just Security, (15 May 2026).
“Post-sanctions economic recovery requires a roadmap, new partners, and new practices that can displace, prosecute, and deter internal corruption and external illicit networks that flourished under sanctions. It requires leadership that prioritizes three things at once: eliminating fraud in all payment and banking systems, enhancing the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) measures, and combating the financing of terrorism. No new government can get there alone, but too many sanctions imposers fail to proactively assist a former target to achieve these reforms.”
