Structured register of government actions in the geoeconomic space — export controls, tariffs, sanctions, FDI screening, subsidies, industrial-policy laws — cross-referenced into the country, minerals, and ETF surface. Charter: docs/IPTM_CHARTER.md.
Severity 1-5 is the qualitative impact rating (1=minor, 5=structural). The bilateral-trade-grounded quant scorer is the next IPTM milestone. RBI (Register Breadth Index) is a complementary structural-breadth indicator from scripts/py/iptm/breadth.py; divergence between RBI and severity is itself informative (high-sev / low-RBI = strategic chokepoint; low-sev / high-RBI = broad but shallow). Every action has at least one primary source URL. Verify-or-don't-file. See also themes, timeline, graph, sankey, map, country exposure, sector exposure, material exposure (+ graph), weekly briefs, portfolio scan, escalation monitor, trans-shipment hubs. Internal triage tools (RSS-poller candidate feed, source-feed health) live under /admin/candidates + /admin/sources. Subscribe via Atom feed (accepts ?country=CN, ?material=lithium, ?issuer=BIS, ?type=export_control, ?etf=SOXX, ?company=NVDA, ?minSeverity=4, ?year=2026, ?q=…) or pull /api/iptm/actions.
On 11 September 2026 the UN Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2828 (2026), extending the Sudan sanctions regime established by resolution 1591 (2005) — the Darfur targeted-sanctions list and arms embargo — for one month, through 9 October 2026, and extending the mandate of the associated Panel of Experts through 9 November 2026. The Council characterised the text as a short-term technical rollover, preserving the existing sanctions tool unchanged while members continue to negotiate whether to widen the embargo's geographic scope from Darfur to all of Sudan and expand designation criteria to cover conflict-related sexual violence, kidnapping for ransom, and attacks on humanitarian personnel.
The U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control designated four individuals and four entities under Executive Order 14098 ("Imposing Sanctions on Certain Persons Destabilizing Sudan and Undermining the Goal of a Democratic Transition") for operating a transnational network that recruits former Colombian military personnel to fight for Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary. Designated persons include retired Colombian officer Alvaro Andres Quijano Becerra, his wife Claudia Viviana Oliveros Forero, the Colombia-based recruitment agency International Services Agency (A4SI), and Panama-based intermediary Talent Bridge, S.A. (formerly Global Staffing S.A.). All property and interests in property of the designated persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from transacting with them.
OFAC amends the Terrorism List Governments Sanctions Regulations (31 CFR Part 596) to implement the Secretary of State's December 14, 2020 rescission of Sudan's State Sponsor of Terrorism (SST) designation, which Sudan had held since 1993. The rule removes references to the Government of Sudan and Sudanese nationals from §596.505 (the prohibition on financial transactions with SST-listed governments) and deletes §596.506 (which had required OFAC licensing for exports of agricultural commodities, medicine, and medical devices to Sudan). The action reduces the US-Sudan sanctions perimeter by eliminating the TLGSR layer; the separate Darfur/ stabilization program (31 CFR Part 546) remains intact.
