Mission
The Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of the US Department
of the Treasury administers and enforces economic and trade
sanctions based on US foreign policy and national security
goals against targeted foreign countries, terrorists, international
narcotics traffickers, and those engaged in activities related
to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. OFAC
acts under Presidential wartime and national emergency powers,
as well as authority granted by specific legislation, to impose
controls on transactions and freeze foreign assets under US
jurisdiction. Many of the sanctions are based on United Nations
and other international mandates, are multilateral in scope,
and involve close cooperation with allied governments.
