A post from Lawfare on 13 June says that the UN Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team regularly issues highly useful reports on al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, and related movements.  The reports identify entities subject to global penalties because of their involvement in terrorism, but they also identify some individuals and groups who are not formally listed.  The post examines this “not listed” category, explaining how UN experts are implying that entities on it are also dangerous and that governments should formally designate them.

On 13 June, Bloomberg Línea published the results of research into illegal, unreported and unlawful (IUU) fishing activities involving vessels flying the Panama flag.  It notes that since December 2019 Panama has been subject to a “yellow card” warning from the EU over the matter, with the threat of a “red card” that would ban seafood exports to the EU.  It gives examples of foreign-owned vessels under the Panama flag being involved in IUU fishing, particularly Chinese ones.
