About these sources
The UN Security Council Consolidated Sanctions List, maintained by the UN Secretariat on behalf of the Council's active sanctions regimes (Al-Qaida/ISIL, Taliban, DPRK, Iran non-proliferation, and multiple country regimes). UN member states are treaty-bound to implement these designations, and most national sanctions lists mirror them.
What a match means: A match is a binding multilateral UN Security Council designation — one of the most authoritative sanctions signals available; escalate immediately.
