  • October 28, 2026: SECO updates its ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida sanctions lists

    The FINMA Notice:

    Updated sanction message: ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaeda

    The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) has amended the list of sanctioned natural persons, undertakings and organizations of the Regulation of 21. March 2025 on measures against persons and organizations associated with the organizations ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaeda (SR 946.231.08).

    By decision of 24. and 26. In October 2026, the responsible UN Sanctions Committee changed the list of persons, companies and organizations sanctioned in this context. The amendment is directly applicable in Switzerland. SECO therefore, on 27. October 2026, the sanction database SESAM (SECO Sanctions Management), which is relevant for Switzerland, was adapted and the adjustment was published on its website.

    In accordance with the provisions of the Regulation, financial intermediaries are required to implement the prohibitions, to block the assets of the sanctioned persons and to report the business relationships concerned to SECO. The report to SECO does not relieve a financial intermediary from making additional clarifications in the event of suspicion in accordance with Art. 6 GwG and, if he cannot clear them, to report it immediately to the notification office for money laundering in accordance with Art. 9 GwG.

    The update:

    Ordinance on measures against certain persons, groups, undertakings and organizations associated with the organizations ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Kaida – Art. 3 para. 1 and 2 (Financial sanctions) and Art. 4 (Entry and transit ban). Origin: UN

    Press release

    UK sanctions senior commanders implicated in campaign of rape in Sudan and unveils new support for survivors

    One year after the fall of El Fasher, the UK is bringing forward a new package of action designed to shine a spotlight on the horrific violence seen during the siege of the city.From:Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office and The Rt Hon Ed Miliband MPPublished:26 October 2026

    • UK unleashes sanctions against military commanders suspected of atrocities, including conflict-related sexual violence, during fall of El Fasher.
    • Survivors to receive further support while humanitarian aid is strengthened in El Obeid and North Darfur, as conflict and El Nino-induced drought threatens famine.
    • Action comes as UK-backed investigations expose campaign of deliberate starvation and sexual violence by all sides in the conflict.

    One year after the fall of El Fasher, the UK is today bringing forward a new package of action designed to shine a spotlight on the horrific violence seen during the siege of the city – and help survivors rebuild their lives.

    15 senior commanders from both the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have been sanctioned for suspected atrocities, including conflict-related sexual violence. This includes Hussein Abu Jalak, an RSF colonel linked to atrocities during the siege of El Fasher, and Al-Nour Ahmed Adam (“Al-Qubba”), identified as present and playing a prominent role in besieging and attacking the city.

    The sanctions impose a travel ban and asset freeze on those designated, while further ensuring the horrors that took place at El Fasher will be known to the world.

    The announcement follows the release of UK-funded reporting by the Centre for Information Resilience (CIR), revealing a campaign of systematic starvation and conflict-related sexual violence against civilians in Sudan from both sides of the conflict.

    Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said:

    The war in Sudan has created a humanitarian catastrophe.

    A year on from the atrocities in El Fasher, UK-funded investigations have shown that rape and starvation are still being weaponised against the people of Sudan.

    These are crimes against our humanity – the perpetrators must be held accountable and support from all external backers to the warring parties must end.  

    El-Nino may worsen an already desperate situation, but whether famine takes hold is in the hands of the RSF and SAF – they must stop attacking aid convoys and let food reach communities.”

    The UK is also allocating £5 million to support the survivors of conflict-related sexual violence in Sudan. The funding will go towards a range of services and supplies for survivors, including sexual and reproductive healthcare, maternal health services, psychosocial support, and safe spaces for women and girls.

    A £10 million package will also be allocated to support the ongoing response to the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Sudan, against a backdrop of increased risk of famine driven by attacks on markets, health facilities, displacement camps and other infrastructure, obstruction of aid and El Nino-induced drought.

    It will help to improve access to clean water and sanitation in displacement sites around Tawila, reducing the risk of disease outbreaks, while supporting health, protection and other essential humanitarian services in El Obeid, where conflict and restrictions on humanitarian access have left civilians facing acute needs.

    One year ago, after an eighteen-month siege that starved hundreds of thousands of civilians, El Fasher fell to the Rapid Support Forces. In the days that followed, civilians were massacred, women and girls were subjected to horrific sexual violence, and entire communities were devastated.

    Now, one year later, further UK-supported CIR reporting has this week shown the brutal tactics used during the siege are still being deployed across Sudan.

    Siege tactics, drone attacks on civilian infrastructure and humanitarian operations, and the systematic obstruction of aid are all regularly used as weapons of war, with CIR-sourced footage showing RSF fighters discussing shutting off water supplies to El Fasher and preventing traders from bringing food into the city.

    Sexual violence is also rampant, with CIR reporting describing women and girls being abducted, repeatedly raped, and held in conditions amounting to sexual slavery.

    Today’s sanctions follow five previous rounds of UK sanctions related to Sudan’s conflict that have targeted suspected perpetrators in Sudan and the networks which support them.

  • October 21, 2026: SECO updates DRC sanctions designations, but doesn’t tell us what was changed

    From FINMA:

    Updated sanction message: Democratic Republic of Congo

    The Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research WBF has adopted an amendment to Annex 2 of the Ordinance of 22. June 2005 on measures against the Democratic Republic of the Congo (SR 946.231.12).

    On the 19th In October 2026, the Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research WBF changed the list of persons, companies and organizations. The WBF has therefore adapted the SESAM (SECO Sanctions Management) sanctions database, which is relevant for Switzerland, and the adjustment will be published on its website. The change comes into force today at 11 p.m.

    but, unlike what we usually get, we didn’t get a hyperlink to the matching SECO page. I’m sure it was an oversight…
