This grant, administered by ISN/CTR through its Counterproliferation and Sanctions Enforcement (CASE) program, is for increasing global capacity to implement and enforce U.S. and international sanctions against Iran and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). The purpose is to thwart these nations’ development of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), ballistic missile, drone, and nuclear capabilities that threaten U.S. national security. CASE trains partner governments and private sector leaders with expertise and tools to detect, disrupt, and prevent sanctions evasion. This ultimately strengthens maritime security, cybersecurity, and global sanctions regimes, while disrupting Iran and DPRK revenue generation and protecting U.S. supply chains and economic interests.

| Description: | ISN/CTR administers the Counterproliferation and Sanctions Enforcement (CASE) program to increase global capacity to implement and enforce U.S. and international sanctions imposed on Iran and DPRK and thwart these nations’ abilities to develop ballistic missile (BM), drone and unmanned aerial system (UAS), and nuclear capabilities that pose a threat to U.S. national security. Established in 2017 to support the Trump Administration’s pressure campaign against the DPRK, the CASE trains partners to enforce U.S. and international sanctions constraining DPRK weapons of mass destruction (WMD) proliferation. In parallel, CASE is ISN’s flagship programmatic tool to implement Maximum Pressure on Iran through National Security Presidential Memorandum 2. In support of these campaigns, CASE facilitates sanctions implementation by equipping partner governments and private sector leaders with expertise and enforcement tools to detect, disrupt and prevent Iranian and DPRK sanctions evasion activities that enable their acquisition of proliferation sensitive technologies, materials, and expertise. CASE activities ultimately strengthen maritime security, cybersecurity, and global sanctions regimes; disrupt Iran and DPRK revenue generation; and protect U.S. supply chains, U.S. companies’ global investments, and U.S. access to international markets. |
