VNsanctielijsten

VNsanctielijsten refers to lists of individuals and entities subject to United Nations sanctions. These sanctions can be imposed for various reasons, including violations of international law, threats to peace and security, or involvement in terrorism. The United Nations Security Council has the authority to impose these measures under Chapter VII of the UN Charter.

The lists are maintained by relevant UN committees, such as the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999), 1989 (2011) and 2253 (2015) concerning ISIL (Da'esh) and Al-Qaida, or the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1988 (2011). These committees compile and update the names of sanctioned individuals and entities based on information provided by Member States.

Individuals and entities on VNsanctielijsten are typically subject to asset freezes, travel bans, and arms embargoes. Member States are obligated to implement these sanctions within their national jurisdictions. The purpose of these lists and the associated sanctions is to pressure individuals and entities to change their behavior and to deter further violations of international norms and security. The lists are subject to review and may be amended or delisted if circumstances change.
