allegedly - (adverb) supposedly
sanction - (verb) to approve [The noun form of this word means "an official approval or decree." This very confusing word has another set of meanings generally used in a political context. The verb means "to penalize, especially for a violation of international law." The noun means "a measure taken by one nation or several nations to penalize another nation for the violation of international law." For example, the United Nations may sanction North Korea for its use of nuclear missiles. The United States has imposed pecuniary sanctions on Cuba and does not trade with that nation.]

endeavor - (noun) an earnest and focused undertaking [The verb form of this word means "to work with effort or purpose."]
