About these sources
Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade administrative Consolidated List — UN and Australian autonomous sanctions entries, including individuals, entities and sanctioned vessels, with measure indicators and designation instruments. The underlying instruments and law control, and a consolidated list can lag an amendment.
What a match means: A match is an entry on Australia's official operational list. Escalate it as a genuine sanctions signal, then check the published measure flags and cited controlling instrument before deciding the legal restriction.
Canada's Consolidated Autonomous Sanctions List, maintained by Global Affairs Canada as an administrative convenience list of persons under the Special Economic Measures Act and the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act. It does not cover all United Nations Act regulations or Criminal Code terrorist entities, and the underlying law controls.
What a match means: A match is an entry on Global Affairs Canada's official administrative list. The list has no force of law and may lag amendments, so review the cited regime and operative regulation before deciding the legal restriction; escalate it as a genuine screening signal rather than treating the list entry itself as the binding instrument.
The UK Sanctions List (UKSL), published by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office — since 28 January 2026 the single, current source for all UK sanctions designations (financial, immigration, trade and transport measures), superseding the older OFSI Consolidated List.
What a match means: A match is a current, binding UK sanctions designation — treat as a direct compliance hit and escalate immediately.
The UK's former OFSI Consolidated List of Financial Sanctions Targets, maintained by HM Treasury. OFSI closed this list on 28 January 2026 — current UK sanctions designations now publish only to the FCDO UK Sanctions List (also in this catalog) — and it is retained here as a historical source.
What a match means: A match reflects a UK financial-sanctions designation recorded before the 28 Jan 2026 cutover; check whether the same party also appears on the current UK Sanctions List, and treat either appearance as a genuine UK sanctions hit, not a stale false positive.
