Legislative Documents

Attached hereto is the updated UNSC Sanctions List as of October 19, 2016. The list comprises of two sections, namely;

            - Section A on Individuals; and

            - Section B on Entities and Other Groups.

Attached hereto is the Changes to the Consolidated United Nations Security Council List. The list is an update of a previously flagged individual who has now been removed from the ISIL and Al Qaeda sanctions list. The asset freeze, travel ban and arms embargo therefore no longer apply to this individual.

Botswana has an obligation to support international efforts to prevent, suppress and disrupt proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the financing of terrorism.  In furtherance of the above, regulated entities are required to search their databases for any existence, dealings or relationship with the listed entities and individuals from the United Nations Security Council lists and report any positive matches, near matches or no matches to the Financial Intelligence Agency without delay.
