About the committee 

• The 1267 sanctions committee of the UN, also known as the ISIL (Da-esh) and Al Qaida sanctions committee, oversees sanctions measures related to individuals, entities and groups.
• The committee can impose measures like asset freezes, travel bans and arms embargoes against designated individuals and entities.

• It is one of the 14 sanctions committees under the UN. Sanctions committees comprise all 15 members of the Security Council, and each committee is chaired by a non-permanent member on a rotational basis. 
• All these sanctions committees (including the 1267 sanctions committee) undertake decisions by consensus. This requirement effectively gives a veto to all 15 members of the committee.

Why in News?

• In his speech at the UN Security Council External Affairs minister S. Jaishankar urged members not to make false distinctions of “good” terrorists and “bad” terrorists, making indirect references to both China and Pakistan for delaying the process of designating terrorist individuals and entities, as well as failing to stop the funding of terror.
• “The practice of placing blocks and holds on listing requests without any rhyme or reason must end. This only erodes our collective credibility,” Mr. Jaishankar told UNSC members, in a reference to a number of blocks and holds China placed on designating Pakistan-based terrorists including Jaish-e-Mohammad Chief Masood Azhar before agreeing to put him on the UNSC’s 1267 sanction list in May 2019.
