Assessment
For a sanctions committee, the lookback screen runs on the two published ICC-EO14203 names, the GL 12 wind-down class, and BLUWAVES PROPERTIES LIMITED.
For a country GM/CFO, ICC GL 12 is a dated wind-down class tied to persons blocked 18 August 2026, and BLUWAVES PROPERTIES LIMITED is a British Virgin Islands vehicle on VENEZUELA-EO13850 with a fixed establishment date and registration number.
