National Security Review Bodies (Part II): Creating New Review Systems

This Legal Sidebar is the second installment in a two-part series examining legal frameworks authorizing the United States to regulate private commercial transactions to address national security risks.

The first installment analyzes the legal frameworks governing export controls, sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC), the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), and sector-specific review bodies. This installment discusses legal issues that could arise from proposals to expand or create new review mechanisms.
