The week dissected: 681 changes

Sanctions movements · all insights

The week dissected, 3–7 August 2026: 39 additions, 19 removals and 623 amendments across the EU, OFAC, UK and UN lists.

Who the entries concern: 539 persons, 133 companies and other legal entities, 6 vessels. The busiest day was Tuesday 4 August with 620 changes. Most of the movement ran through UN Security Council Consolidated List (620 entries). By programme, ISIL/Da'esh sanctions (UN-SCISIL) led with 336 entries, ahead of Taliban sanctions (UN-SC1988) at 140.

For screening teams the type split is the work plan: person entries are name-and-date matching; legal-entity entries need ownership unwrapping before a match can be cleared; vessel entries reach into trade-finance and charter files.
