The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Consolidated List is a comprehensive record of individuals, groups, and entities subject to sanctions by the UN. These sanctions, often related to terrorism, the proliferation of weapons, and violations of international peace, include asset freezes, travel bans, and arms embargoes. For financial institutions, the UNSC Consolidated List plays a crucial role in anti-money laundering (AML) and financial crime compliance. Businesses must screen clients and transactions against this list to ensure they are not facilitating activities tied to sanctioned entities. Non-compliance can result in severe legal and financial consequences, along with reputational damage. Regularly monitoring the UNSC Consolidated List helps organisations avoid unknowingly supporting terrorism financing, money laundering, or other illegal activities, thus ensuring they remain compliant with international financial crime regulations.
