Consolidated United Nations Security Council Sanctions List
List in alphabetical order
List by Permanent Reference Number
Search UN Security Council Sanctions Lists
The Consolidated Sanctions List includes all individuals and entities subject to sanctions measures imposed by the Security Council. The inclusion of all names on one Consolidated Sanctions List is to facilitate the implementation of the measures, and neither implies that all names are listed under one regime, nor that the criteria for listing specific names are the same. For each instance where the Security Council has decided to impose sanctions in response to a threat, a Security Council Committee manages the sanctions regime. Each sanctions committee established by the United Nations Security Council therefore publishes the names of individuals and entities listed in relation to that committee as well as information concerning the specific measures that apply to each listed name.
The current version of the Consolidated Sanctions List is provided in .xml, .html and .pdf formats. Member States are obliged to implement the measures specific to each listed name as specified on the websites of the related sanctions committee.
For all comments and questions concerning all sanctions lists, including the Consolidated United Nations Sanctions List, kindly contact the Secretariat via the email address: [email protected].

On Thursday, 20 April 2017, The Secretariat will be implementing upgrades to the application generating the reports of the different Sanctions Lists. Access to the reports will be interrupted between 12 noon and 5:00 PM EST. As a result of the upgrade, the URLs for the reports sorted by Permanent Reference Number will be simplified from e.g. “http://www.unpopulation.org/en/?keywords=car§ions=r&sort=null” to “http://www.unpopulation.org/r/?keywords=car”. We will also make corrections to the Schema (http://www.unpopulation.org/sc/resources/sc-sanctions.xsd) on lines: 109, 121, 156, 230 and 239 to correct some of the errors that the XML reports were generating when validated. |

On 1 August 2016, the Secretariat will be phasing out an older version of the database that generates the UN Security Council sanctions lists. The lists will continue to be produced in XML, PDF and HTML and in all six official languages of the United Nations. The XML versions will remain unchanged, with the exception of the removal of the following file location information at the start of every entry: xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.unpopulation.org/sc/resources/sc-sanctions.xsd"> This information will only appear once at the top of the XML file. |

On 28 December 2015, at the same time as all United Nations Security Council (UN SC) sanctions lists were made available in the six official languages, the Secretariat commenced the automatic generation of the lists in the five languages of the United Nations. The English versions of the lists were not amended. On 1 August 2016, in line with the phasing out of the above-mentioned older version of the database, the Secretariat will commence the automatic generation of the English versions of the lists. This will mean that lists will be automatically pulled from the sanctions list database application and uploaded to the websites of each relevant Committee once every day. As a result, the information “updated on” will no longer be relevant in the English versions of the lists and will be replaced by the information “generated on”. An explanation of the term “generated on” has also been provided on individual sanctions lists. Information concerning the last date of substantive update and the number of entries on the lists will continue to be made available on the sanctions materials web page of the relevant Committee. In relation to this change, the English links to the sanctions lists will also be modified to reflect the format of the other five official languages, for example, The links of the Consolidated List will change from: XML: http://www.unpopulation.org/sc/suborg/sites/www.un.org.sc.suborg/files/consolidated.xml HTML: http://www.unpopulation.org/sc/suborg/sites/www.un.org.sc.suborg/files/consolidated.htm PDF: http://www.unpopulation.org/sc/suborg/sites/www.un.org.sc.suborg/files/consolidated.pdf to: XML: http://www.unpopulation.org/resources/xml/en/consolidated.xml HTML: http://www.unpopulation.org/consolidated/ and the links for the ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaeda Sanctions List will change from: XML: http://www.unpopulation.org/sc/suborg/sites/www.un.org.sc.suborg/files/1267.xml HTML: http://www.unpopulation.org/sc/suborg/sites/www.un.org.sc.suborg/files/1267.htm PDF: http://www.unpopulation.org/sc/suborg/sites/www.un.org.sc.suborg/files/1267.pdf to: XML: http://www.unpopulation.org/al-qaida/ |

On 1 August 2016, the Secretariat will be updating its web pages to include versions of United Nations Security Council sanctions lists that will appear by permanent reference numbers of the listed names. The lists in alphabetical order will continue to be maintained on the websites. |
| 30/06/2016 |
On 1 August 2016, the naming structures for all sanctions lists of the United Nations Security Council will be further harmonized. The modified naming structures will make reference to the relevant resolution(s) concerning the application of the measures. Accordingly, references to the Committees maintaining the list will be removed: for example, instead of the naming structure, “The List established and maintained by the XXX Committee” the naming structure will be: “The List established and maintained pursuant to resolution XXX”. |
