Law No. 13,810, of March 8, 2019 — compliance with sanctions imposed by United Nations Security Council resolutions, including the unavailability of assets
The law establishes that UN Security Council sanctions, including asset freezes and national designations of individuals or entities linked to terrorism, are immediately enforceable in Brazil and must be complied with by all natural and legal persons, as well as public entities. It obligates the Ministry of Justice and Public Security to promptly communicate sanctions to regulatory bodies, the Federal Police, and other relevant agencies, and provides for direct judicial assistance to enforce asset unavailability upon request from foreign central authorities. The law creates a national list of sanctioned persons and assets, allows partial release of frozen assets for ordinary or extraordinary expenses under strict conditions, and sets procedural rules for challenges, asset liquidation, and administration, while repealing Law No. 13,170 of 2015.
