Abstract
The United States relies heavily on economic sanctions as a tool of foreign policy. The past 100 years have been marked by the sanction power slipping further and further into the hands of the executive branch. This has left us today with OFAC, who sanctions thousands of entities a year; a legal system which provides very limited recourse for sanctioned entities to plead their case; and incredibly limited congressional oversight. This Note argues for amplified due process rights for foreign nationals seeking to be de-sanctioned and for Congress to use its legislative authority to put restrictions on the executive branches’ broad and expansive authority.
