Use case and fit
This is editorial guidance, not vendor copy.
Sanctions, PEP, watchlist, vessel, company, and public-interest screening where structured entity data and source lists matter.
Use OpenSanctions to identify sensitive source-list context, not to make standalone allegations.
Best for sanctions, PEP, and watchlist screening when identity matching and source context are handled carefully.
Operational snapshot
Workflow, access, and coverage
Search identifiers before names, inspect source lists, compare dates and aliases, label possible matches clearly, then confirm with official lists or professional review.
Names may appear in multiple scripts, transliterations, aliases, and local naming conventions.
Limits
Strengths, caveats, and risk
Transparent source-list approach makes it useful for cautious screening and entity-resolution workflows.
Identity matching remains hard; weak name-only matches can create serious false positives.
Does not prove identity, wrongdoing, current legal status, or complete global coverage from a name match alone.
False positives can harm people and companies if weak identity matches are published or acted on too strongly.
Sanctions and compliance-sensitive findings should be checked against official sources and appropriate professional standards before decisions.
Review the underlying source, identifiers, dates, aliases, and match confidence before using a result.
