The Government of Estonia enforces international and national sanctions through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, operating under the International Sanctions Act and aligned with EU and UN frameworks. Designations address human rights violations, terrorist acts by Hezbollah, the situation in Belarus and actions undermining Ukraine’s sovereignty or threatening Estonia’s security. Restrictions vary by designation and include entry bans, with certain individuals also subject to asset freezes and prohibitions on making funds available. Each designation is made by a directive of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the subjects of each directive are listed under it.
