Description

The Security Council today adopted a resolution strengthening the mandate of the Focal Point for Delisting — set out in resolution 1730 (2006) to receive requests for delisting from United Nations sanctions regimes — and establishing an Informal Working Group on general sanctions issues. Unanimously adopting resolution 2744 (2024) (to be issued as document S/RES/2744(2024)), the Council directed the Sanctions Committees established by the Security Council — except the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999)— to revise their guidelines accordingly. 

Also, by the text, the Council requested the Secretary-General — in consultation with the Informal Working Group — to appoint the Focal Point within three months of the resolution’s adoption to take over all the mandates of the original Focal Point established pursuant to resolution 1730 (2006). Further, it expressed its intention to keep the mandate and tasks of the Focal Point under continuous review.
