About This List
UN Libya sanctions, administered by the United Nations Security Council Committee established pursuant to Resolution 1970, designate 30 individuals and entities linked to the Libyan conflict, requiring asset freezes during cross-border payment screening and trade finance checks.
Detailed Information
UN Security Council Consolidated Sanctions List includes all individuals and entities subject to sanctions measures imposed by the UN Security Council. This master list consolidates designations from multiple sanctions committees, including those targeting ISIL/Al-Qaida (Resolution 1267), the Taliban (Resolution 1988), as well as country-specific regimes for North Korea, Iran, Libya, Somalia, and others. All UN Member States are legally obligated to implement these sanctions.
Measures typically include asset freezes, travel bans, and arms embargoes. The list is maintained by the UN Secretariat and updated as sanctions committees make new designations or de-listings. Inclusion requires a formal proposal from a Member State and consensus within the relevant committee. Each sanctioned entry includes identifying information, reasons for listing, and applicable measures.
