OpenSanctions — EU Sanctions Map

Name: OpenSanctions — EU Sanctions Map
License: CC-BY-4.0

OpenSanctions' EU Sanctions Map dataset provides an open, daily-updated source for the EU's restrictive measures (persons, organisations and vessels under EU sanctions regimes such as Russia/Ukraine, Iran, North Korea, Belarus, Syria and maritime measures against the shadow fleet). Fetched via OpenSanctions' free bulk download (targets.simple.csv) and normalised to the same consolidated sanctions model as the other lists. Restores an open EU source after the EU's official Financial Sanctions Files API was put behind authentication in May 2026 (#2044). Note the licence: OpenSanctions is free for non-commercial use; commercial use requires a licence — the connector is therefore feature-flagged (OPENSANCTIONS_ENABLED).
