About these lists

UN Security Council Consolidated List (United Nations Security Council): Individuals and entities subject to UN Security Council sanctions measures. Official page.

Swiss SECO Sanctions List (State Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO): Persons, entities and objects subject to Swiss sanctions under the Embargo Act. Official page.

OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List (U.S. Department of the Treasury – OFAC): U.S. blocking sanctions on individuals, entities and vessels. Official page.

Inclusion on a list is an administrative designation, not a criminal conviction. Designations can be challenged and are periodically reviewed; entries marked “no longer listed” have been removed from the respective list. The legal effect of a listing depends on the jurisdiction and the programme concerned.

Compiled automatically from official public sources. Name similarity is not identity; nothing here is a legal determination or allegation of wrongdoing. Verify against the linked official source before relying on any information.
