  26. 1.0 OBJECTIVE

  27. 1.1 The objective of issuing these guidelines is to ensure implementation of targeted financial sanctions to comply with the United Nations Security Council resolutions that require countries to freeze, without delay, the funds or other assets, and to ensure that no funds and other assets are made available to or for the benefit of any person or entity designated by the United Nations Security Council (the Security Council) under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, as required by Security Council resolutions - (a) 1267 (1999), 1989 (2011) and 2253 (2015) and any of their successor resolutions relating to targeted financial sanctions against persons and entities associated with the ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaeda organizations; (b) 1988 (2011) on Afghanistan/Taliban in relation to persons and entities associated with the Taliban and the threat they pose to the peace, stability and security of Afghanistan; (c) 1373 (2001) relating to any person or entity designated by the united Republic of Tanzania as suspected domestic terrorist pursuant to section 12A of the Prevention of Terrorism Act (Cap, 19); (d) 1718 (2006) and 2231 (2015) and their successor resolutions on sanction measures to counter proliferation financing.

  28. 1.2 The Guidelines are intended to complement any other measures or obligations that are in place for dealing with funds or other assets in the context of a criminal, civil or administrative investigation or proceedings for the purposes of confiscation and provisional measures.

  29. 1.3 The Guidelines also complement criminal proceedings against a designated person or entity, and therefore may be adopted by a competent authority or a court, but are not conditional upon the existence of such proceedings. Instead, the Guidelines provide for preventive measures that are necessary and unique in the context of stopping the use or flow of funds or other assets to designated persons, entities or terrorist groups.

  30. 1.4 The Guidelines sets out the limits for fostering widespread support for an effective counter-terrorist financing regime, the respect of human rights, the respect for the rule of law, and recognize the rights of innocent third parties.

  31. 1.5 The Guidelines are hinged upon all current and future successor resolutions to resolution 1267(1999) and any future UNSCRs which impose targeted financial 3 <!-- page break --> sanctions in the terrorist financing context. These includes the resolutions: 1333 (2000), 1363 (2001), 1390 (2002), 1452 (2002), 1455 (2003), 1526 (2004), 1617 (2005), 1730 (2006), 1735 (2006), 1822 (2008), 1904 (2009), 1988 (2011), and 1989 (2011).

  32. 1.6 The reporting persons or any other in possession of funds or assets of any other person or entity, should take cognizance of the fact that the United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, 1988 (the Vienna Convention) and the United Nations Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime, 2000 (the Palermo Convention), contain obligations regarding freezing, seizure and confiscation in the context of combating transnational crimes. Additionally, the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism,1999 (the Terrorist Financing Convention) contain obligations regarding freezing, seizure and confiscation in the context of combating terrorist financing. Those obligations exist separately apart from the obligations set forth by Financial Action Task Force in Recommendations 6 and 7 and the United Nations Security Council Resolutions related to terrorist financing and proliferation financing.
