The framework rests on OFAC's Venezuela program. General License 41 narrowly authorised Chevron's operations; its terms — and the conditions for renewal — define most of the legitimate space.

Outside a specific license, dealings in PdVSA-linked oil risk secondary sanctions exposure under the executive orders, with the blocking provisions reaching non-US persons.

The practical read: exposure turns on the live license posture, which OFAC has tightened and loosened with the political cycle — so any opinion has to cite the current license text and the most recent guidance, not last year's.

How it works

One sourced workflow, start to final draft.

Search the primary record, not the open web.

Ask any foreign-policy or international-law question and get a sourced, current answer — UN, treaty, ICJ, hearing, ministry — in one search, each claim linked to the document it came from. The kind a partner can sign off on.

Context that makes a brief defensible.

Knowing what a state did is half the answer. The alliance logic, the domestic constraint, the precedent — the reasoning a reviewer expects — surfaced alongside the facts, sourced.

Questions

What you’re wondering.

Model Diplomat is retrieval-first: it searches an index of treaties, sanctions records, court rulings, official statements, and peer-reviewed work before it writes a word, and it cannot cite a document that is not in its index. Every claim attaches to a real source you can open — but as with any research tool, you remain responsible for reviewing the deliverable you put your name on.
It complements them. Subscription databases are excellent for the document types they cover. Model Diplomat synthesizes across primary sources from many places in a single natural-language search and tells you which document each claim came from — making the rest of your research faster, not replacing your legal-research subscription.
Yes. The corpus is kept current and each source is dated, and conflict and country trackers maintain continuously updated, timestamped context. For fast-moving areas, the answer points you to the most recent guidance rather than a stale version.
Footnote, Chicago, MLA, and APA — pointing to the actual primary documents, easy to drop into your firm's house style and easy for a reviewer to verify.
