List of Sanctioned Individuals and Entities

A List of Sanctioned Individuals and Entities is a database compiled by governments and international organizations that identifies people, companies, or countries that are restricted from conducting certain activities—like trading or financial transactions—due to concerns like terrorism, human rights abuses, or illegal activities. These sanctions aim to pressure those on the list to change their behavior or to prevent them from causing further harm. The list serves as a guideline for businesses and financial institutions to avoid dealings with those sanctioned entities, ensuring compliance with national and international laws.
