Sanctions

Question: To ask Her Majesty's Government whether any online resources exist that give current and complete lists of goods, individuals or entities on sanctions lists worldwide.

Answer: The publication of lists of goods, individuals or entities on sanctions lists is the responsibility of those individual countries and multilateral institutions which impose and implement sanctions. I am not aware of the existence of a single global list. The UK currently imposes multilateral sanctions through the European Union, which publishes information on its website. The UK publishes details of UN and EU sanctions that it implements on the GOV.UK website.
