Financial Sanctions in Switzerland: A Comprehensive Overview

Switzerland plays a crucial role in implementing international sanctions imposed by the United Nations Security Council through its Embargo Act. This act outlines specific coercive measures that must be adopted to ensure compliance with international law.

The Legal Framework

The country enforces internationally imposed sanctions against states, individuals, and legal entities using the Embargo Act as its legal basis. Precise coercive measures are specified in separate sanction ordinances, which are adopted by the Federal Council along with this Act.

Implementation of Sanction Ordinances

Sanction ordinances are implemented by the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO). The names of individuals, groups, and companies affected are listed in annexes to these ordinances, which are continuously updated.

Independent Freezing Measures

The Federal Council also has the authority to introduce national freezing measures to safeguard Switzerland’s interests. The Federal Department for Foreign Affairs’ Directorate of International Law is responsible for implementing associated ordinances, with continuously updated annexes.

Topical Information and Notification of Coercive Measures

FINMA publishes financial coercive measures and freezing measures on its website, while MyFINMA notifies financial intermediaries of relevant changes.
