# ProofAML Sanctions & PEP Watchlist Snapshot
**Research snapshot — not current data; production sanctions screening requires a live, monitored feed.**
A resolved, deduplicated snapshot of global sanctions, PEP (politically exposed
persons), and watchlist entities, compiled by [ProofAML](https://proofaml.com)
from government and intergovernmental publishers — OFAC, UN, EU, UK OFSI,
national parliaments, company registries, and more.
- **69 datasets, 120,886 entity records** (version `2026-08-24`)
- Cross-source entity resolution and deduplication applied by ProofAML
- One gzipped JSONL file per source dataset, plus a `manifest.json` listing
every included dataset's authority, source URL, license, entity count, and
checksum
## Scope and what's excluded
This snapshot only includes sources whose license was confirmed, at build
time, to permit public redistribution. Sources that couldn't clear that bar
are deliberately left out and listed transparently in `manifest.json`'s
`excluded` array — for example a share-alike-licensed source (ODbL/CC BY-SA)
and a source with no confirmed redistributable snapshot artifact yet. This is
a licensing safeguard, not an oversight: the compilation is fail-closed by
design.
## License
This dataset's license is **layered** — read both parts before redistributing
anything:
1. **The compilation/resolution layer** (selection, arrangement,
cross-source entity matching, and deduplication) is licensed by ProofAML
under **CC BY 4.0**:
<https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode>
2. **Every individual record** remains governed by its **own originating
publisher's license** — this is *not* relicensed by ProofAML. The mix
includes US public domain (17 U.S.C. §105), UK Open Government Licence
v3.0, EU Commission Decision 2011/833/EU, UN CC BY 3.0 IGO, France
Licence Ouverte / Etalab, CC0, Nordic NLOD, and others, varying by
source. See the `NOTICE` file included in this repo for the full
per-source breakdown and required attributions before redistributing any
individual record in isolation.
## Disclaimer
> Research snapshot — not current data; production sanctions screening
> requires a live, monitored feed.
This snapshot is a point-in-time export. It is **not** suitable as the sole
basis for a production AML/KYC sanctions-screening control — use it for
research, prototyping, and evaluation only.
