The Denied Persons List
The Bureau of Industry and Security ("BIS") of the U.S. Department of Commerce maintains separate lists for the purposes
of the programs that it administers (including the Denied Persons List and the Entity List).
The Denied Persons List consists of individuals and companies that have been denied export and re-export privileges by BIS.
BXA_un (UL) Unverified List
The Unverified List includes names and countries of foreign persons who in the past were parties to a transaction with respect
to which BIS could not conduct a pre-license check (PLC) or a post-shipment verification (PSV) for reasons outside of the
U.S. Government’s control. Any transaction to which a listed person is a party will be deemed by BIS to raise a Red Flag
with respect to such transaction within the meaning of the guidance set forth in Supplement No. 3 to 15 C.F.R. Part 732.
The Red Flag; applies to the person on the Unverified List regardless of where the person is located in the country included
on the list.
FATF (NCCT) Non-Cooperative Countries and Territories
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is an inter-governmental body whose purpose is the development and promotion of policies,
both at national and international levels, to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. The Task Force is therefore
a "policy-making body" which works to generate the necessary political will to bring about national legislative and regulatory
reforms in these areas.
Since its creation the FATF has spearheaded the effort to adopt and implement measures designed to counter the use of the
financial system by criminals. It established a series of Recommendations in 1990, revised in 1996 and in 2003 to ensure
that they remain up to date and relevant to the evolving threat of money laundering, that set out the basic framework for
anti-money laundering efforts and are intended to be of universal application.
The FATF monitors members' progress in implementing necessary measures, reviews money laundering and terrorist financing
techniques and counter-measures, and promotes the adoption and implementation of appropriate measures globally. In performing
these activities, the FATF collaborates with other international bodies involved in combating money laundering and the financing
of terrorism. For more on Mutual Evaluations see Monitoring the Implementation of the Forty Recommendations.
The FATF does not have a tightly defined constitution or an unlimited life span. The Task Force periodically reviews its
mission. The FATF has been in existence since 1989. The current mandate of the FATF (for 2004-2012) was subject to a mid-term
review and was approved and revised at a Ministerial meeting in April 2008. For more information on the FATF’s role, please
see the FATF's standards.
FBI Most Wanted/Terrorist List
The alleged terrorists on this list have been indicted by sitting Federal Grand Juries in various jurisdictions in the United
States for the crimes reflected on their wanted posters. Evidence was gathered and presented to the Grand Juries, which
led to their being charged. The indictments currently listed on the posters allow them to be arrested and brought to justice.
Future indictments may be handed down as various investigations proceed in connection to other terrorist incidents, for
example, the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
The Rewards for Justice program, administered by the United States Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security,
offers rewards for information leading to the arrest of many of these terrorists.
It is also important to note that these individuals will remain wanted in connection with their alleged crimes until such
time as the charges are dropped or when credible physical evidence is obtained, which proves with 100% accuracy, that they
are deceased.
Top Ten Most Wanted Fugitives
The FBI is offering rewards for information leading to the apprehension of Top Ten Most Wanted Fugitives. Check each fugitive
page for the specific amount.
OFAC (SDN) Specially Designated Nationals List
The Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of the US Department of the Treasury administers and enforces economic and
trade sanctions based on US foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign countries, terrorists, international
narcotics traffickers, and those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. OFAC
acts under Presidential wartime and national emergency powers, as well as authority granted by specific legislation, to
impose controls on transactions and freeze foreign assets under US jurisdiction. Many of the sanctions are based on United
Nations and other international mandates, are multilateral in scope, and involve close cooperation with allied governments.
OFAC PLC - Palestinian Legislative Council List
Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) list - (This list is NOT part of the Specially Designated Nationals [SDN] List) Section
(b) of General License 4 issued pursuant to the Global Terrorism Sanctions Regulations (31 C.F.R. Part 594), the Terrorism
Sanctions Regulations (31 C.F.R. Part 595), and the Foreign Terrorist Organizations Sanctions Regulations (31 C.F.R. Part
597) authorizes U.S. financial institutions to reject transactions with members of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC)
who were elected to the PLC on the party slate of Hamas, or any other Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), Specially Designated
Terrorist (SDT), or Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT), provided that any such individuals are not named on OFAC's
list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN List). The individuals in the following list are PLC members
who were elected on the party slate of an FTO, SDT, or SDGT. They do not, however, appear on the SDN List. As indicated
above, transactions involving these individuals must be rejected. In order to uniquely identify these names, OFAC has created
the program code [NS-PLC]. The prefix "NS" stands for "non-SDN".
DC_EL Dept Commerce Entity List
The Bureau of Industry and Security ("BIS") of the U.S. Department of Commerce maintains separate lists for the purposes
of the programs that it administers (including the Denied Persons List and the Entity List).
The Entity List consists of foreign end users who pose an unacceptable risk of diverting U.S. exports and the technology
they contain to alternate destinations for the development of weapons of mass destruction. Accordingly, U.S. exports to
those entities may require a license.

HM Treasury Sanction List

European Union Sanction List
To facilitate the application of financial sanctions, the European Banking Federation, the European Savings Banks Group,
the European Association of Co-operative Banks and the European Association of Public Banks ("the EU Credit Sector Federations")
and the Commission recognised the need for an EU consolidated list of persons, groups and entities subject to CFSP related
financial sanctions. It was therefore agreed that the Credit Sector Federations would set up a database containing the consolidated
list for the Commission, which would host and maintain the database and keep it up-to-date. This database was developed
first and foremost to assist the members of the EU Credit Sector Federations in their compliance with financial sanctions.
Terrorism Financing Lists of Names subject to the Regulations Establishing a List of Entities made under subsection 83.05(1)
