FAQs

What are Swiss Restrictive Measures?

Swiss Restrictive Measures are economic sanctions and restrictive measures imposed by Switzerland through the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO). These measures include asset freezes, travel bans, arms embargoes, and trade restrictions targeting individuals, entities, and countries that pose threats to international peace, security, or human rights. Organizations can efficiently screen against these measures using compliance tools like Trademo sanctions screener.

Who must comply with Swiss Restrictive Measures?

All Swiss financial institutions, banks, insurance companies, asset managers, and businesses operating in Switzerland must comply with Swiss restrictive measures. Additionally, Swiss citizens and residents abroad, as well as foreign companies conducting business through Switzerland or with Swiss entities, are required to adhere to these sanctions and conduct proper screening.

How do Swiss sanctions relate to international sanctions regimes?

Switzerland often adopts sanctions in alignment with UN Security Council resolutions and frequently mirrors EU and US sanctions while maintaining its own independent assessment process. Swiss restrictive measures may include additional or modified provisions specific to Swiss law and can sometimes extend beyond international frameworks to address particular Swiss foreign policy objectives.

What types of restrictions are included in Swiss Restrictive Measures?

Swiss restrictive measures encompass various types of restrictions including individual and entity asset freezes, prohibition of financial services, travel bans, arms embargoes, export restrictions on dual-use goods, sectoral sanctions, and trade limitations. Financial institutions must use screening tools like Trademo sanctions screener to identify prohibited transactions and business relationships.

What are the penalties for violating Swiss Restrictive Measures?

Violations of Swiss restrictive measures can result in criminal prosecution with imprisonment up to five years, substantial financial penalties, confiscation of assets, loss of business licenses, and exclusion from the Swiss financial system. The Swiss authorities actively monitor compliance and impose severe sanctions for both intentional violations and negligent non-compliance with screening obligations.
