GOV. FCDO notices in this series, issued from 28 January 2026, record additions, revocations and delistings, and variations and corrections to the UK Sanctions List.
Each notice sets out, for its relevant date, the changes to the list. Additions are new designations. Delistings are removals following a United Nations decision, while revocations are removals following an official decision-making process. Variations change an existing designation and corrections make administrative amendments. Within a notice, deleted information appears in strikethrough and red, and newly added information is underlined and highlighted in yellow — so a screener can see exactly what moved.
The DRC regime permits the designation of individuals and entities involved in the commission of serious human rights violations or abuses or violations of international humanitarian law in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in obstructing or undermining respect for democracy, the rule of law and good governance there, or in the production, manufacture or use of improvised explosive devices or attacks using them. The regulations also reach persons owned or controlled by, acting for, or associated with such a person. Those are the same criteria set out in the designation provisions of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.
Entries on a notice carry the identifiers a screening team needs: unique ID, regime name, sanctions imposed, the UK statement of reasons and designation source (UK or UN), with dates designated and last updated and the OFSI group ID. Individual entries add names and aliases, dates of birth, nationalities, passport and national-identifier details, positions and addresses; entity entries add entity type, subsidiaries and parent companies, business registration numbers and contact details. The format guide for the UK Sanctions List explains each field, and the searchable UK Sanctions List carries the consolidated position.
For screening purposes the 12 November notice is now the current statement of the listGOV, with the July notice retained as the previous link; additions designate new persons, variations change existing designations, and revocations and delistings remove entries. Legal basis: the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (Part 2, designation of persons).
