Authoritative lists of persons, entities, vessels, and arrangements subject to sanctions or restrictive measures under United Nations, United States, European Union, United Kingdom, Australian, Canadian, Swiss, and Japanese frameworks.
How sanctions sources work
Each sanctioning authority maintains its own list. There is no single global list. Multilateral sanctions (typically UN Security Council resolutions) are implemented in domestic law by each member state and appear on each domestic list as well. Autonomous sanctions (imposed unilaterally by one jurisdiction) appear only on that jurisdiction’s list.
When screening counterparties, the practical question is which jurisdictions’ rules apply to the matter. That determines which lists must be consulted. A consolidated screening across UN, US, EU, UK, Australian, and Canadian lists is the common minimum standard for cross-border commercial work.

Notes on use
These lists do not screen subjects on the user’s behalf. Each requires the user to search for a specific name, entity, or identifier and review returned matches. Confidence-scoring, false-positive review, and entity-disambiguation are the user’s responsibility.
Sanctions screening is jurisdiction-specific. The applicable list set depends on where the matter takes place, where the parties are based, where funds or goods are routed, and which legal framework governs the engagement. Where the matter requires advice on which sanctions framework applies, instruct counsel.
Sanctions lists change frequently. Treat any single search as current to the date of the search. Most authorities publish update bulletins. Recurring matters should re-screen on a defined cycle.
What’s coming in Phase 2
New Zealand consolidated sanctions list (MFAT), Singapore MAS Targeted Financial Sanctions list, Hong Kong consolidated list, Korean Customs Service strategic items list, FATF high-risk and non-cooperative jurisdiction lists, and sectoral and product-level sanctions (oil price cap, dual-use export controls).
