Un Sanctions Committees

The United Nations Isil (Da'Esh) And Al-Qa'Ida Sanctions Committee in 2016

The United States worked closely with the United Nations 1267/1989/2253 ISIL (Da'esh) and al-Qa'ida Sanctions Committee and its Monitoring Team in 2016 by proposing listings and de-listings, providing amendments, engaging the Committee's Ombudsperson in de-listings, and providing input to the Committee to enhance its procedures and implementation of sanctions measures. The United States also assisted the Monitoring Team with information for its research and reports. There are 256 individuals and 75 entities on the Committee's sanctions list. In 2016, 20 individuals and one entity were added to the list. The Committee also worked to ensure the integrity of the list by conducting regular reviews and by endeavoring to remove those individuals and entities that no longer met the criteria for listing. Six individuals were de-listed, of which three individuals were de-listed following the submission of a petition through the Office of the Ombudsperson. In addition, one entity was delisted. The Committee also approved amendments to the existing sanctions list entries of 23 individuals and one entity.
