What is on the UN Consolidated List

Every Security Council regime in one list

The Security Council imposes sanctions by resolution, and a committee for each regime decides who is listed. The Consolidated List brings together every individual and entity those committees have listed, among them the ISIL (Da'esh) and Al-Qaida list, the Taliban list and the North Korea list.

Binding on every member state

Sanctions the Council adopts under Chapter VII of the UN Charter bind every UN member, and each country applies them through its own law. In the United States that is done through OFAC, so most UN listings also appear on the SDN list. The EU, UK, Swiss and Australian lists carry UN listings alongside their own.

What each entry records

Names and aliases, with dates of birth, nationalities, identity documents and addresses where the committee has them, and the regime the listing falls under. Many entries also carry a short account of why the person or entity was listed.

Why search the UN list as well as OFAC

A UN listing reaches each national list on that country's own schedule, and the spelling of a name can differ from one list to the next. Searching the UN list directly can catch a listing before it reaches OFAC, or under a spelling OFAC does not use.

A free result shows the matched name, the list, the regime and a score. The $9.99 PDF report records the search with its date and time and includes the aliases, identity documents and comments the UN publishes for each match.

Questions

The UN Security Council's list of every individual and entity under its sanctions measures, such as asset freezes, travel bans and arms embargoes. It brings the lists kept by each of the Council's sanctions committees into one place, and it is the UN list OFACScreen loads.
Every UN member state has to apply them, and each does so through its own law. Businesses follow them through that national law: in the United States through OFAC's regulations, in the EU through EU regulations, in the UK through UK regulations.
Usually, because the US applies UN sanctions through OFAC. The timing and the spelling can differ, though, so OFACScreen searches both lists at once and shows which list each match came from.
The highest-scoring matches on screen, each with its list, regime and score, with no account needed. Nothing is kept. For a record of a single check, the PDF report is $9.99, one-time. A plan records every search and re-screens saved names daily, from $49 a month.
No. OFACScreen is an independent service. We load the list the UN publishes, and a result is a name match against it at the time of the search. It is not legal advice, and it does not replace the checks your own obligations require.
