OFAC Consolidated Sanctions List

Publisher
OFAC, U.S. Department of the Treasury
Legal basis
IEEPA and other U.S. sanctions statutes
Applies to
U.S. persons, wherever located

The Consolidated Sanctions List combines OFAC's six non-SDN lists: SSI, FSE, NS-PLC, CAPTA, NS-MBS and NS-CMIC. Each list carries its own restrictions, from bans on certain debt and equity deals to limits on correspondent accounts.

If you get a match

Restrict

Apply the restriction that list's program sets. What is prohibited, and what must be reported, differs from list to list.

Worth knowing: Unlike the SDN List, a match here generally doesn't mean blocking the party's property.

UN Security Council Consolidated List

Publisher
United Nations Security Council
Legal basis
Chapter VII of the UN Charter
Applies to

If you get a match

Freeze

Follow your country's law implementing UN sanctions. This usually means freezing the party's assets and reporting to the authority named in that law.

EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List

Publisher

Council of the EU decisions under the Common Foreign and Security Policy
Applies to
EU nationals, anyone in the EU and businesses operating there

The EU's consolidated list names every person, group and entity subject to EU financial sanctions, across all of its sanctions regimes. It is a reference tool: the binding restrictions are set by the Council acts published in the Official Journal of the EU.

If you get a match
