United Nations Security Council Sanctions List

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on Monday listed Pakistan-based terrorist Abdul Rehman Makki as a global terrorist under its ISIL (Da'esh) and Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee.

China put a last-minute block on a joint proposal by India and the United States in the UN to list Pakistan-based terrorist Abdul Rehman Makki as a 'Global Terrorist' under the Al Qaeda Sanctions Committee of the UN Security Council.

India has underscored the need for the UN Security Council to effectively integrate women, peace and security considerations into the sanctions regimes, including by listing terrorist entities involved in violence against women in armed conflicts.

India has criticised the United Nations Security Council's veto-wielding members for anonymously obstructing the designation of terrorists without giving any reason, a veiled attack on China for repeatedly blocking its bid to list Pakistan-based Masood Azhar as a global terrorist.

The technical hold imposed by China on India's bid to get Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief Masood Azhar designated as a terrorist by the United Nations is going to end in the next 10 days - which means that India's bid could stand passed automatically, unless Beijing objects again.

The United States added North Korea's Strategic Rocket Force to its sanctions list for ties to weapons development and illicit finance activities, the Treasury Department said on Tuesday.

A British teen who travelled to Syria to join the Islamic State has been put on the UN's list of the world's most wanted terrorists, becoming the fifth Briton to face international sanctions this week by the world body.

Nigeria asked the UN Security Council to impose sanctions on Boko Haram, the armed Islamist group that claimed the kidnapping of more than 200 schoolgirls, and list it as a terrorist group, diplomats said on Tuesday.

Almost two years after his death at the hands of US special forces in Pakistan, a UN Security Council committee has removed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden from its sanctions list, although an order freezing any assets of the Islamist extremist remains in place.
