Counter-Terrorism (Domestic) Regime

The Consolidated List under the Counter-Terrorism (Domestic) regime is a list of individuals and entities who are subject to financial sanctions in the United Kingdom. The list is maintained by the Treasury and is updated regularly.

The sanctions regime is designed to prevent terrorist financing and to disrupt the activities of terrorist groups. It does this by prohibiting the provision of funds or economic resources to designated individuals and entities, and by freezing their assets.

The Consolidated List includes individuals and entities who are involved in terrorist activity, who provide financial or material support to terrorist groups, or who are associated with terrorist groups. The list also includes individuals and entities who are located in countries that are considered to be state sponsors of terrorism.

The sanctions regime is a powerful tool that can be used to disrupt terrorist activity and to protect the UK from the threat of terrorism. The list is an important part of the UK's counter-terrorism strategy and it plays a vital role in preventing terrorist attacks.

How the Consolidated List is created

The Consolidated List is created by the Treasury, which is a government department responsible for economic and financial affairs. The Treasury has the power to designate individuals and entities under the Counter-Terrorism (Domestic) regime.

The Treasury can designate individuals and entities if it has reasonable grounds to believe that they are involved in terrorist activity, that they provide financial or material support to terrorist groups, or that they are associated with terrorist groups. The Treasury can also designate individuals and entities if they are located in countries that are considered to be state sponsors of terrorism.

What happens when someone is designated on the Consolidated List

When an individual or entity is designated on the Consolidated List, it means that they are subject to financial sanctions. This means that it is illegal to provide funds or economic resources to the designated individual or entity. It also means that the assets of the designated individual or entity must be frozen.

The financial sanctions imposed on designated individuals and entities are designed to prevent them from carrying out terrorist activity. The sanctions also make it more difficult for terrorist groups to raise funds and to operate.

How to check if you are on the Consolidated List
