On 19 July 2024, the Security Council adopted resolution 2744 (2024), introducing new procedures for the consideration of delisting requests submitted by individuals, groups, undertakings or entities designated on the lists of the sanctions committees established by the Security Council, with the exception of the ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee list, which remains under the purview of the Office of the Ombudsperson. The new procedures, outlined in Annex I of resolution 2744 (2024), will begin to be applied once the United Nations Secretary-General appoints a new Focal Point, as specified in paragraph 3 of the resolution. This website will be updated accordingly in due course. In the interim, should you have any questions, please contact delisting@un.org.
