The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) sanctions list includes individuals, entities, and countries subject to sanctions under Chapter VII of the UN Charter. These sanctions are typically imposed to address threats to international peace and security, including terrorism, nuclear proliferation, and violations of international humanitarian law. Key aspects of the UNSC sanctions list include:
- Designation Criteria: Individuals and entities are listed based on evidence of involvement in activities that threaten peace, stability, or humanitarian efforts.
- Asset Freezing and Travel Bans: Member states are required to freeze assets and impose travel bans on listed individuals and entities, restricting their financial transactions and mobility.
- Monitoring and Review: The UNSC regularly reviews and updates the sanctions lists to reflect evolving threats and compliance with sanctions regimes.
