Security Council Resolution 1267

Security Council Resolution 1267, adopted in 1999, established a sanctions regime targeting Afghan militants linked to al-Qaeda and the Taliban. It authorizes the freezing of their financial assets, travel bans, and arms restrictions to restrict their operations and cut off resources. The resolution also creates a Committee and a sanctions list to monitor and update targeted individuals and entities. Its goal is to prevent these groups from using Afghanistan as a base for terrorist activities, enhancing international efforts to combat terrorism while respecting due process and human rights.
