Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) List
US Sanctions Against WMD Proliferation
The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) maintains a list of Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) and Blocked Persons, individuals and entities targeted by US sanctions for their involvement in weapons of mass destruction (WMD) proliferation or other illicit activities. This list is updated regularly to include individuals and entities engaged in proliferation activities or supporting sanctioned regimes.
Understanding the SDN List
The SDN List serves as a mechanism to impose economic and financial restrictions on designated individuals and entities. The sanctions prohibit US citizens and entities from engaging in transactions with those on the list. The list is an important tool in preventing the spread of WMD and protecting national security.
OFAC's Sanctions List Search tool provides access to the SDN List and allows users to search for potential matches using fuzzy logic. This tool helps identify individuals and entities that may be subject to sanctions based on their names or other identifying information.
The World Bank also maintains a list of Ineligible Firms and Individuals, which includes entities barred from participating in World Bank-funded projects due to sanctions or other compliance issues. This list is updated regularly to ensure that entities involved in illicit activities are not eligible for funding.
