1267 Sanctions Committee

The 1267 Sanctions Committee is a group established by the United Nations that monitors and enforces sanctions related to al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Its purpose is to prevent these groups from accessing funding, weapons, and support that could be used for terrorism. The committee designates individuals, entities, and activities that threaten international security, and recommends measures such as asset freezes, travel bans, and arms embargoes. It works to ensure compliance among all UN member states, aiming to cut off resources and influence that could be used for terrorist activities globally.
