By decision of 4 September 2026, the competent UN Sanctions Committee amended the list of persons, companies and organisations sanctioned in this context. The amendment is directly applicable in Switzerland. SECO therefore updated the SESAM sanctions database (SECO Sanctions Management), which is authoritative for Switzerland, on 7 September 2026 and published the update on its website.
In accordance with the provisions of the Ordinance, financial intermediaries are requested to implement the prohibitions, freeze the assets of the sanctioned persons and report the affected business relationships to SECO.
