For operators, the dynamic world of global sanctions poses an intricate puzzle. With myriad lists, continuous updates, and hundreds of thousands of entries, staying compliant is a monumental task.
Core Foundation:
UN Sanctions List
The UN list forms the foundation for European and national sanctions. UN member states are mandated to report to this list, which then informs the European (EU) and other nations’ lists. Notably, the UK, USA, and Canada have developed comprehensive sanctions lists based on these international frameworks.
Spotlight on Key Lists:
EU Sanctions: Critical for companies headquartered in the EU. The EU differentiates between individual and country-specific sanctions. The CFSP list encompasses all EU-sanctioned entities, whereas lists like the European Iran Embargo target specific nations.
British Sanctions: The Consolidated list in the UK combines both EU measures and national-level sanctions.
US Sanctions (OFAC): The OFAC list pinpoints US-specific targets, encompassing entities deemed threats to the country’s national security, foreign policy, or economy.
Before establishing a regular check protocol, it’s imperative to determine which lists are pertinent to your operation.
