A Sudan sanctions notice dated 26 October 2026 now heads the notices list on the Sudan designations pageGOV. The notice file is listed as a 204 KB, 15-page PDF above the 16 July 2026 notice of 202 KB and 11 pages, with the 29 April 2026, 25 February 2026 and 5 February 2026 notices also listed. The page carries Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office notices issued from 28 January 2026 covering additions, revocations and delistings, and variations and corrections to the UK Sanctions List
GOV, with earlier Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation notices linked separately.
Each notice sets out, for its date, additions of new designations, delistings following a United Nations decision, revocations following an official decision-making process, variations to designations, and administrative corrections. Additions list the new entry; delistings and revocations list removed entries; variations and corrections show deleted information in strikethrough red and new information underlined and highlighted yellow. Individual entries carry the unique identifier, regime name, sanctions imposed, statement of reasons, dates of birth, nationalities, identifiers, passports, positions, birth towns and countries, names and aliases, titles and addresses; entity entries carry identifiers, sanctions, reasons, subsidiaries, parents and registration, contact and address details. The format guide explains these fields.
Designations sit under the Sudan (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020, which keep the United Kingdom aligned with the United Nations Sudan regime. Individuals and entities may be designated for involvement in serious human-rights violations or breaches of international humanitarian law in Sudan, attacks on or obstruction of diplomatic personnel or monitoring and peace-support missions, obstruction of humanitarian assistance, responsibility for offensive military overflights over Darfur, support for armed groups or criminal networks, or other acts threatening Sudan's peace, stability and security. The current list of designated persons is searched through the UK Sanctions List service filtered to Sudan; designated persons include sanctioned individuals and entities, and a designated person may be an individual, business or organisation.
For those designated, the regime imposes an asset freeze on funds and other assets, prohibitions on making funds or economic resources available to them or for their benefit, director disqualification and an immigration travel ban. Separate goods and technology controls prohibit export, supply or transfer to or for use in Sudan or to connected persons of military, security and paramilitary goods, software, technology, arms, ammunition and related material, with related financial, brokering and technical assistance also controlled, alongside a prohibition on providing assistance, personnel, services or funds enabling armed hostilities in Sudan.
UK businesses have the option to use the UK Sanctions List to check their new and existing customer base, or to use an outsourced commercial sanctions screening service to do this on their behalf. The starter guide to UK sanctions describes examining who business is done with through Know Your Customer checks, repeated at intervals so that risk changes are caught, and reporting frozen assets and suspected breaches to the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation. The designations page links the Sudan-filtered UK Sanctions List search alongside the notice list.
Legal basis is the Sudan (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/753) giving effect to the United Nations Sudan regime, with the designation, asset-freeze and prohibitions framework summarised in the Sudan sanctions guidance and the 26 October 2026 notice published under the FCDO notice series.
