Description The Security Council, acting through its temporary silence procedure amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, adopted a resolution today encouraging Member States to engage more actively with its committee overseeing sanctions on individuals and groups related to Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL/Da’esh) and Al-Qaida.
Unanimously adopting resolution 2560 (2020), the 15-member Council encouraged States to more actively submit to the Committee listing requests of individuals, groups, undertakings and entities that meet criteria laid out in resolution 2368 (2017), so as to keep the ISIL/Da’esh and Al-Qaida Sanctions List reliable and up to date. It also requested an analytical support and sanctions monitoring team to study the exemption procedures set out in resolution 2368 (2017) and make recommendations to the Committee within nine months on whether an exemptions update is required.
