In news– Recently, some of the US lawmakers batted for a sanctions waiver for India for its purchase of the S-400 missile defence system from Russia. 

Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA)-

  • The US has imposed sanctions on Russia under the CAATSA for manufacturing S-400 Triumf.
  • The law also provides for punitive action against countries purchasing defence hardware from Russia.
  • The law passed in 2017 also imposed sanctions on Iran, North Korea.
  • It was passed in the wake of Russian interference in the U.S. 2016 presidential election, and was designed to punish Russia by discouraging trade with its defense and intelligence sectors. 
  • The CAATSA Sanctions represent the implementation of multiple legal authorities.  
  • Some of these authorities are in the form of executive orders issued by the President and some other authorities are public laws (statutes) passed by the Congress.  
  • These authorities are further codified by Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) in its regulations which are published in Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
  • OFAC has been charged with enforcing the provisions of the law.
