What term describes regulations against targeted countries and organizations?

Sanctions programs describe the set of regulations that target specific countries, governments, entities, or individuals to restrict or prohibit transactions. They guide banks in screening and blocking dealings with sanctioned parties to comply with those regulatory regimes. OFAC is the agency that administers these programs, not the term itself. High-Risk Areas refer to geographic risk categories used in risk assessments, and the Travel Rule pertains to data requirements for wire transfers.
