Sanctioned Countries, entities, and individuals

Various government agencies publish lists of such parties ("Denied Parties Lists"). In addition, many countries maintain trade sanctions and embargo programs against specific countries and regions ("Sanctioned Countries"), such that unauthorized transactions involving these Sanctioned Countries are prohibited or restricted.
