UK adds 9 new designations under chemical weapons sanctions regime

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office issued sanctions notices from 28 January 2026 covering changes to the UK Sanctions List under the chemical weapons regime. The notices refer to additions, revocations, delistings and variations or corrections, and direct readers to previous financial sanctions notices issued by the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation before 28 January 2026.

The regime provides for the designation of individuals and entities who are or have been involved in prohibited activity related to chemical weapons. The notice says sanctioned persons may include both individuals and entities.

It also states that for delistings and revocations, the notice lists the entries being removed. The source says 9 new designations were added under the Chemical Weapons sanctions regime.

It does not identify the designated persons, give reasons for the listings, or set out any operational consequences beyond the update to the sanctions list. The material is presented as a formal list of designations and related notices rather than a narrative incident report.
