International Sanctions Measures

The Financial Sanctions Implementation Unit (FSIU) is a unit of the Ministry of Justice Headquarters, which, pursuant to the International Sanctions (Delegation of Governor’s Functions) Notice 2018, is responsible for carrying out certain functions with respect to the implementation of targeted financial sanctions for terrorism, terrorist financing and proliferation financing in Bermuda. The FSIU provides important and current information related to sanctions to assist you with Bermuda’s Sanctions Regime compliance.

The primary legislation that gives effect to international sanctions in Bermuda are:

1. The International Sanctions Act 2003 which enables Bermuda to implement international sanctions imposed by the United Nations and the United Kingdom; and
2. The International Sanctions Regulations 2013 which specify the UK Orders in Council that are given the force of law in Bermuda. These regulations are updated periodically to reflect the extension of new sanctions measures to the British Overseas Territories and the repeal of existing ones.

The UK financial sanctions targets by regime, which lists all financial sanctions imposed in the UK by country, administration or terrorist group, can be found here. Further, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) publishes the UK Sanctions list which includes designations under all sanctions categories in the UK.

Every effort is made to ensure that this information is current but in order to ensure compliance with the most up-to-date sanctions measures, you are encouraged to refer directly to the relevant UK legislation and Bermuda laws and to seek legal advice where necessary.

Designated persons may be excluded from the territory and may be made subject to financial sanctions, including having their funds or economic resources frozen, as well as director disqualification sanctions.

Designated Persons & Delisting

The application of targeted financial sanctions are a part of the obligations imposed under the laws that make up Bermuda’s sanctions regime. These sanctions apply to the funds or property of persons that have been designated..

The international sanctions in force in Bermuda are mirror those in force in the UK with certain modifications. The UK HM Treasury (Treasury) maintains a Consolidated List of individuals and entities subject to financial sanctions.

Therefore, in order to comply with these international measures, you should check the Consolidated List, which can be found on the UK Government website.

Persons and entities operating in Bermuda’s regulated financial sectors are obliged to implement such sanctions by:

1. Checking whether they maintain any accounts or otherwise hold any funds or economic resources for designated or listed persons;
2. Freezing such accounts or other funds and, unless the Minister has granted a licence, refraining from dealing with or making available such funds or economic resources to the designated or listed persons or any third party; and
3. Notifying the Minister of the above.

As sanctions measures are subject to change, it is essential that ongoing screening is carried out.

Please note that the scope of individuals and entities listed in the UK’s Consolidated List may, at times, exceed the current requirements of Bermuda’s sanctions regime. When the Consolidated List is updated—whether due to new legislation or amendments to existing UK laws—corresponding provisions may not yet have been implemented in Bermuda. However, such updates are typically expected to be adopted in Bermuda shortly thereafter.

Additionally, when the UK designates individuals or entities beyond those identified by the United Nations (UN), the Consolidated Lists for specific sanctions regimes may include names that are not “designated persons” or “listed persons” under the UNSCRs extended to Bermuda.

How to make a delisting request?

Requests (or petitions) for delisting are sent to the competent authority with the relevant supporting information. The relevant competent authority will vary based on the sanctions regime which designates the person or entity. If you require assistance identifying which competent authority to submit a delisting request, you can contact the FSIU for assistance at (441) 292-2463. Bermuda listings under UNSC Resolution 1373.

To delist a Bermuda originating listing made under UNSC Resolution 1373, designated persons and entities should submit a petition for delisting to the Governor (copying the FSIU).

UN listings

Persons subject to UN designation have a right to request the UK Government secure removal from UN listings pursuant to section 25 of the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018.

To petition the Governor, you should contact Government House:

The Governor of Bermuda

Government House

11 Langton Hill

Pembroke HM13

Bermuda

Telephone: (441) 292 3600

E-mail: governor@gov.bm

Alternatively, petitions for delisting made directly to the UN should note the following:

For UN listings under the ISIL (Da'esh) and Al-Qaida sanctions regime (1267/1989), a petition for delisting can be made to the Office of the Ombudsperson to the ISIL (Da'esh) and Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee:

Office of the Ombudsperson

Room DC2 2206

United Nations

New York, NY 10017

United States of America

Telephone: +1 212 963 8226

E-mail: ombudsperson@un.org

More information about the Office of the Ombudsperson is available on the UN’s website: https://www.un.org/sc/suborg/en/ombudsperson.

For all other UN listings, a request should be sent to the UN Focal Point for delisting:

Focal Point for De-listing

Security Council Subsidiary Organs Branch

Room DC2 0853B

United Nations

New York, N.Y. 10017

United States of America

Telephone: +1 917 367 9448

Fax: +1 212 963 1300

Email: delisting@un.org

More information about the Focal Point for delisting is available on the UN’s website: https://www.un.org/sc/suborg/en/sanctions/delisting.

Additional information on the delisting process can be found in Chapter 9 of the FSIU Sanctions Guidance.

The Consolidated List

When conducting screening for designated or listed persons, the first step is to consult the UK’s Consolidated List. If a potential match is identified, it is strongly recommended to cross-reference the relevant legislation in force in Bermuda to confirm whether the individual or entity is also subject to prohibitions under the Bermuda Sanctions Regime. This includes reviewing:

1. The applicable UK Orders in Council listed in Schedule 1 of the International Sanctions Regulations 2013, as amended; and
2. The Annexes to the relevant UN measures, as referenced in the definitions of “designated persons” or “listed persons” within those Orders.

This verification step ensures that the match is not only listed internationally but is also legally enforceable under Bermuda’s domestic sanctions framework.

For example, in relation to the regime for Iran if screening against the Consolidated List reveals a target match listed under Iran, then reference should be made to the definition of designated person under The Iran (Sanctions) Regulations 2023, to confirm the same person is listed under that legislation.

The Consolidated List includes all the names of financial sanctions targets under United Nations Security Council Resolutions and UK legislation. The Consolidated List normally indicates whether the target is designated by the UN or the UK. The Consolidated List is divided by country, with separate sections for terrorist financing and Al-Qaida as well. The Treasury also provide individual Consolidated Lists for each of the individual regimes (e.g. Afghanistan, DPRK etc.).

The following links provide access to the UK Government Guidance in relation to sanctions:

1. UK Financial Sanctions General Guidance
2. Consolidated List and the list of persons named in relation to financial and investment restrictions - Format Guide - Persons must ensure that they have read and understood the above GUIDANCE ON THE CONSOLIDATED LISTS
3. Guidance: Trade Sanctions, Arms Embargoes, and Other Trade Restrictions

Where relevant, reference can also be made to the HM Treasury guidance provided in relation to the sanctions regimes on the HMT website under Guidance and Regulation.

The UK Government also offers a free subscription service, providing notification by email when the Consolidated List or the UK Sanctions Listis updated. The service also provides updates on changes that are made to the UK Sanctions Regime. You are required to provide your email address. When prompted you should select ‘Designations under all UK Sanctions Regimes’ to ensure that you are notified accordingly. Alternatively, you may select specific sanctions topics such as those relating to Finance or Import/Export.
