  • AI Corner: You’re not the only one who’s confused

    So, this morning I asked Claude to process this AM’s SECO update (incorporating the UNSC’s August 14th updates), and it told me that it looked awfully like yesterday’s SECO update – and would I like to update that post, or create a new one.

    Yes, on both days, 3 persons and 1 entity were updated by the UNSC. And SECO created an update for each. Because of the timing of the 2 updates, OFSI actually issued a single update on Monday comprising of both sets of UN updates. Even there, OFSI said there were 6 updates to individuals and 2 to entities… which confused Claude, even if it was technically true, from a. regulatory standpoint.

    It’s a good reminder of the limitations, especially over time, of AI tools’ ability to understand context. Would Claude have not been confused had I used a more powerful model like Opus or Fable instead of Sonnet? Perhaps, but at what cost – those models chew up your usage a lot faster, which is silly for normal day-to-day work.

    Thought this was an interesting case to share.

  • August 18, 2026: State Department Press Release on OFAC ICC designations

    Advancing the United States’ Campaign to Address the Threat Posed by the International Criminal Court 

    PRESS STATEMENT

    MARCO RUBIO, SECRETARY OF STATE

    AUGUST 18, 2026

    The Trump Administration has been clear: the International Criminal Court (ICC) is a corrupt and fatally politicized supranational court that has maliciously abused its authority and exceeded its mandate.  We will not tolerate its assault on state sovereignty.  

    In furtherance of the diplomatic campaign we launched last month to address the ICC’s abuses of power, I am designating two ICC officials – President of the ICC, Tomoko Akane of Japan, and ICC Senior Trial Lawyer, Abdoulaye Seye of Senegal – pursuant to Executive Order 14203, “Imposing Sanctions on the International Criminal Court.”  These individuals have directly engaged in efforts by the ICC to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute officials whose government has not consented to ICC jurisdiction.  

    The ICC has repeatedly attempted to assert authority over nationals of the United States and other countries that have not consented to its jurisdiction or ratified the Rome Statute.  This sets a dangerous precedent for all nations.   

    Our whole of government campaign to dismantle the threat posed by the ICC to national sovereignty will be sweeping and we expect more countries to join our campaign by ending their funding and participation in this politicized and unaccountable court. The ICC’s ability to target American nationals and those of other non-States Parties must end. The Trump Administration stands ready to take additional measures, if necessary, to systematically dismantle the ICC until it is incapable of threatening American sovereignty. 

    These individuals are being designated pursuant to section 1(a)(ii)(A) of Executive Order (E.O.) 14203.

  • August 4, 2026: SECO catches up to UN Taliban sanctions changes

    The FINMA Notice:

    Updated sanction message: Taliban

    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 Taliban (SR 946.231.07).

    By decision of 30. In July 2026, the responsible UN Sanctions Committee amended the list of persons, companies and organizations sanctioned in this context. The change is directly applicable in Switzerland. SECO therefore has on 31. July 2026 the sanctions 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.
