华盛顿，5月28日（路透社）——美国财政部周四表示，将从制裁黑名单中移除76个个人和实体，其中超过一半是已故人士，此举称将帮助华盛顿聚焦高风险目标。
该部门将从“特别指定国民清单”中移除相关实体，包括39名已故人士、14艘不再运营的船只以及13家已停业的公司。

财政部表示，他们收到企业投诉称，被迫投入大量资源筛查低风险目标。在某些情况下，相关目标如金融网络已不复存在，或是已故个人。
财政部在一份声明中称：“财政部正在探索多种方式，以减轻这一负担，同时帮助优先开展更具影响力的制裁执行工作，包括审查规避制裁的行为。”
近年来，针对委内瑞拉、伊朗、叙利亚和俄罗斯等国的制裁使用有所增加。财政部称，年度新增制裁名单条目已从2017年的880条增至2024年的3000多条。
一名财政部高级官员在电话会议上告诉记者：“制裁并非永恒不变。例如，我们已经放宽了对叙利亚和委内瑞拉的制裁，以更好地契合我们的外交政策和国家安全利益。”

WASHINGTON, May 28 (Reuters) – The U.S. Treasury Department said on Thursday it is taking 76 names and entities off a sanctions blacklist, more than half of which are people who have died, a move it said would help Washington focus on high-risk targets.
The department is removing entities from the Specially Designated Nationals list, including 39 deceased people, 14 vessels that no longer operate, and 13 defunct companies.

The department said it had heard from businesses that complained about being forced to spend significant resources to screen targets that were low risk. In some cases, the targets, such as financial networks, no longer existed, or were individuals who had died.
“Treasury is exploring ways to relieve that burden while helping to prioritize more impactful activities to implement sanctions, including scrutinizing for sanctions evasion,” it said in a release.
The use of sanctions on countries like Venezuela, Iran, Syria and Russia has grown in recent years. Annual new listings increased from 880 in 2017 to more than 3,000 in 2024, Treasury said.
“Sanctions are not intended to be eternal,” a senior Treasury official told reporters in a teleconference. “For example, we have scaled back our sanctions on Syria and Venezuela to better match our foreign policy and national security interests.”
