Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT)

Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) is an OFAC designation under Executive Order 13224 for individuals and entities determined to have committed, pose a risk of committing, or provide support for acts of terrorism. SDGTs are added to the SDN list and are subject to the same asset freeze and transaction prohibition as any other SDN.

SDGT vs SDN

SDGT is a designation category — all SDGTs are SDNs, but not all SDNs are SDGTs. The SDN list includes entities designated under multiple programs: terrorism (SDGT), narcotics trafficking, weapons proliferation, human rights abuses (Magnitsky), cyber activity, and country-specific programs.
