OFAC: GUIDANCE RELATED TO THE PROVISION OF HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE BY NOT-FOR-PROFIT NGO

On 27 February, OFAC issued a humanitarian assistance fact sheet, which supplements its 2014 guidance on the same topic.  The fact sheet seeks to provide guidance on the reach of economic sanctions for persons involved in the conduct of humanitarian-related activities, including: the US government; international organisations and entities; non-governmental organisations (NGO); persons involved in the provision of food, other agricultural commodities, medicine, and medical devices; and financial institutions and other service providers who support or facilitate transactions for such persons.
