Following the Targeted Financial Sanctions Law (TFSL) enacted on 1 February 2023, Azerbaijan established both domestic and international sanctions lists to prevent terrorism financing and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
The domestic list includes individuals and entities suspected of terrorism, terrorism financing, or assisting in such acts, designated by court order upon information from the Office of the President. All persons and institutions in Azerbaijan must freeze assets immediately upon designation, without notification to the sanctioned party. The law requires that listing grounds and delisting procedures be accessible online, with designated parties having the right to request information.
