Publication of International Criminal Court-Related Sanctions Regulations Web General License 12
Key claim: The Treasury Department’s OFAC is formally publishing General License 12 under the International Criminal Court-related sanctions rules, which was already available on OFAC’s website.
Abstract
(Rule · Treasury Department, Foreign Assets Control Office) The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is publishing a general license (GL) issued pursuant to the International Criminal Court-Related Sanctions Regulations: GL 12. This GL was previously made available on OFAC’s website.
Why this matters
Federal Register publication of OFAC web-posted general licenses is a routine but legally meaningful step that locks in the scope of authorized dealings under the ICC-related sanctions program. For parties interacting with ICC-designated persons, GL 12’s codification clarifies the baseline of permitted activity and signals OFAC’s ongoing administration of the program.
