SQL Filter to not display some items in a table

Good morning! all beauty On the site I'm moving, it displays a list of countries that come from the database. However, there was a requirement that OFAC-sanctioned countries should not be exhibited.

It calls countries with the following SQL commands:

 var sql = @"
        SELECT
            id, nome_pt AS nome
        FROM loc_pais
        ORDER BY nome_pt
    ";

My doubt is; "can I put a filter to not display those countries that are sanctioned, or would it be better to exclude them from the table?"
