Research on law in authoritarian countries has revealed that authoritarian leaders are masters at creatively and pragmatically using law and courts to achieve their political goals.  Putin’s Russia is a stark example.

The United States has used economic sanctions many times to try to achieve foreign policy goals. Sanctions were used extensively on Russia after it invaded Ukraine.

Elizabeth Rosenberg, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes in the Biden Administration, played a key role in the sanctions effort and will discuss these issues with Q and A afterwards.
