Swiss sanctions against Russia – Further alignment with the EU – Implementation of the 20th Sanctions Package

Swiss sanctions against Russia – Further alignment with the EU –…

<p>In a continued effort to align with European Union (“<strong>EU</strong>”) sanctions, on 19 August 2026, the Swiss Federal Council adopted additional measures transposing core elements of the EU’s 20<sup>th</sup> sanctions package (adopted at EU level on 23 April 2026). The Swiss amendments entered into force on <strong>20 August 2026</strong>, with certain measures phased in later in September 2026 and January 2027.</p> <p>The revision notably (i) removes, as from 1 September 2026, the sanctions-based restrictions on the sale, delivery and exportation of military equipment goods – as well as the associated financial services and brokerage restrictions – to Ukraine, (ii) introduces new prohibitions on services linked to LNG carriers, icebreakers and Russian LNG terminals, (iii) activates for the first time the “<strong>anti-circumvention tool</strong>”&nbsp;targeting exports of sensitive goods to Kyrgyzstan, (iv) expands prohibitions on transactions with Russian crypto-asset service providers and platforms, and (v) introduces new measures to protect Swiss companies against IP infringements and abusive Russian court decisions.</p>

Swiss sanctions and contract law: How far do GTC compliance clauses reach?

Swiss sanctions and contract law: How far do GTC compliance clauses reach?

<p>In its decision 4A_455/2025 of 21 May 2026, the Swiss Supreme Court addressed the extent to which a commercial bank may rely on its general terms and conditions (GTCs) to refuse the release of client assets where performance could expose the bank to sanctions under Swiss or foreign law, and whether such a clause continues to apply after the notice of termination of the banking relationship.</p> <p>The Court held that under Swiss law provisions of a bank’s GTCs may include provisions conditioning performance by the bank to compliance with foreign legal and regulatory requirements and such compliance reservation clauses continue to apply post-termination during the liquidation phase of the account relationship. The judgment further clarifies that a Swiss governing law clause does not preclude the parties from agreeing, through acceptance of GTCs, that performance may be refused in order to comply with foreign legal and regulatory requirements. It also provides important guidance on the assessment of ownership and control for sanctions purposes.</p>
