Terrorism: the CNASNU lists 10 new people on the local sanctions list

As part of the continuous strengthening of the national system for combating terrorism, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their financing, the national commission responsible for applying the sanctions provided by the United Nations Security Council resolutions (UNSC) held a meeting this Monday, October 19th, at the headquarters of the Ministry of Justice in Rabat. Presided over by Hicham Mellati, the Commission's supervising president, this session was dedicated to updating the local list by the unanimous registration of ten additional physical persons, after establishing their conformity with the underlying criteria required by the UN resolutions. Upon their registration, a UNSC communiqué specifies that all individuals concerned are subject to an immediate freeze of their assets, a strict prohibition of any financial transaction, and a travel ban. These measures apply immediately to the persons concerned, public establishments, and legal entities of public or private law, who are required to ensure their effective implementation. This decision illustrates the strict alignment of the UNSC with international standards regarding targeted financial sanctions. Through the strengthening of inter-institutional coordination, the methodical verification of identities, and the optimization of information flows, the Commission consolidates the effectiveness of national mechanisms to prevent and sustainably mitigate the risks of terrorism financing.
