Perform a UN Sanctions List Check Quickly

To search the UN Consolidated sanctions list for a person or company, you can use official government portals or a combined screening aid. sanctionlistcheck.com offers a tool that screens against the UN Security Council Consolidated List, along with 7 other crucial international sanctions lists. This helps small and medium businesses identify potential matches, supporting their due diligence processes without requiring complex database access or manual compilation of multiple sources. Remember to always confirm your specific obligations with a legal adviser.

Understanding the UN Security Council Consolidated List

The UN Security Council Consolidated List compiles individuals and entities subject to sanctions measures imposed by the UN Security Council. These measures typically include asset freezes, travel bans, and arms embargoes. Inclusion on this list signifies that an individual or entity is deemed to be involved in activities posing a threat to international peace and security, such as terrorism or proliferation of weapons. Businesses must exercise due diligence to avoid engaging with listed parties. Confirm your specific obligations with your own legal adviser regarding interactions with listed entities.

Official Portals Versus a Combined Screening Check

You can search the UN Security Council Consolidated List directly through the official UN website. However, this often means checking multiple official sources individually for a comprehensive screening. Our service simplifies this by performing a sanctions list check across eight key global lists simultaneously: OFAC SDN, the US Consolidated Screening List (US CSL), the EU Consolidated Sanctions List, the UK Sanctions List, the UN Security Council Consolidated List, France's registre national des gels (the national designations published by the Direction générale du Trésor), Poland's national sanctions list (MSWiA), and the Swiss SECO consolidated list. This single-point check aims to streamline your initial screening process.

Our deterministic fuzzy name matching technology handles transliteration variants and aliases to find possible matches for your review. We do not use AI judgment or LLMs in the matching path. The lists are refreshed daily to provide you with current data for your work. For a quick verification, a free single-name check is available on our homepage, limited to 10 checks per day per visitor, with no signup or card required.

Beyond UN Sanctions: The Need for Multi-List Screening

While a UN sanctions list check is a critical step, relying solely on it can leave your business exposed to risks from other major sanctioning authorities. Individuals or entities might be designated by the OFAC SDN, the US Consolidated Screening List (US CSL), the EU Consolidated Sanctions List, the UK Sanctions List, the UN Security Council Consolidated List, France's registre national des gels (the national designations published by the Direction générale du Trésor), Poland's national sanctions list (MSWiA), or the Swiss SECO consolidated list.

For example, a designation by the OFAC SDN, the EU Consolidated Sanctions List, or the UK Sanctions List might occur without an individual or entity appearing on the UN Security Council Consolidated List. Each jurisdiction maintains its own specific sanctions regimes, reflecting national security and foreign policy interests. Screening against several official lists can be part of your due diligence.

Our screening tool addresses this by checking all eight crucial lists in every search. This means you gain broader coverage, reducing the likelihood of missing designations from other significant bodies. Remember, the tool is a due-diligence aid, not an authority, and every potential match requires your human review. You retain full responsibility for your compliance decisions. Always confirm your specific obligations with your own legal adviser.
