Dear Supporter,

Last week, The Wilson Center published the paper "*Targeted Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Measures in Support of Peace in South Sudan* [ [link removed] ]," authored by The Sentry's Co-Founder John Prendergast, Director of Illicit Finance Policy Hilary Mossberg, and Deputy Director of Illicit Finance Policy Megha Swamy.

Sanctions have been used as a tool of foreign policy to address the crisis in South Sudan, and their use has spawned considerable debate. In February, the Wilson Center published a piece that challenged the effectiveness of sanctions in the case of South Sudan. In the follow-up paper published on Thursday, The Sentry's authors provide a counter argument, highlighting the innovative nature of targeted network sanctions and other financial pressure tools taken to address the South Sudan crisis, and the positive role that they played in bringing about an end to the civil war.

The authors note: "In South Sudan, targeted network sanctions, robust anti-money laundering efforts, bank enforcement actions, asset forfeiture measures, and other financial pressures have built leverage needed for diplomatic efforts to move the parties to form the unity government and take halting steps towards peace." They conclude that targeted network sanctions can serve as a key part of a comprehensive diplomatic and financial pressure strategy to realize peace, protect human rights, and fight corruption.
