1267 sanctions committee
About the committee
- The 1267 sanctions committee of the United Nations, 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?
- India slammed China for blocking a proposal to list Pakistani terror convict and Lashkar-e-Taiba/ Jamaat-ud-Dawa (LeT/JuD) deputy chief Abdul Rahman Makki as a UN Security Council-designated terrorist by the 1267 Committee.
