The UN sanctions committee has amended the consolidated list of sanctioned individuals, companies, and organizations associated with ISIL (Da'esh) and Al-Qaida. Switzerland's SESAM database has been updated to reflect these changes. Under the 2016 Federal Council ordinance, UN Security Council sanctions automatically enter into force in Switzerland without additional domestic legislative action.

Affected Swiss entities—including financial institutions, companies, and individuals—must immediately screen their counterparties, business relationships, and assets against the updated sanctions list. Any matches must be reported to SECO, and all economic resources belonging to listed persons must be frozen without delay. Non-compliance with Swiss sanctions obligations may result in criminal prosecution and administrative penalties.
