Sanctions & Watchlists (Global Intelligence): Security Council sanctions resolutions add names to the UN Consolidated List, which every member state must enforce; a veto by a permanent member blocks them. (moves the same way; weeks; global scale) Source: UN Security Council Consolidated Sanctions List.
Oil Stress (Macro): UN sanctions on producers (those on Iran were reimposed in September 2025) and Council action on shipping attacks (the Red Sea, 2024) bear on where crude can flow and what insurers charge. (either way, depending on the cause; weeks; global scale) Source: UN Security Council Consolidated Sanctions List.
Budget & Spending (Macro): The U.S. pays the largest assessed share of the UN's regular and peacekeeping budgets, through State Department appropriations that sit in federal spending. (moves the same way; yearly; economy scale) Source: Congressional Budget Office (budget categories).
Conflict Zones (Global Intelligence): The Council authorises peacekeeping missions and arms embargoes for the conflicts on that page; firms operating or shipping there must comply with those embargoes. (either way, depending on the cause; months; global scale) Source: UCDP/PRIO Armed Conflict Dataset.

What feeds this page?

Organized Violence (Global Intelligence): More conflicts and civilian deaths add Security Council resolutions and peacekeeping mandates, which member states pay for through assessed contributions. (moves the same way; months to years; global scale) Source: UCDP/PRIO Armed Conflict Dataset.
