Resolution

Observations

The Security Council viewed terrorism as one of the greatest threats to international peace and security. It condemned and expressed concern at the increasing number of attacks by

1267 Committee and states was important, and co-operation with Interpol
was welcomed.

Meanwhile, the preamble of the resolution also expressed concern at misuse of the Internet by terrorist groups and individuals, further noting the changing nature of the threat, particularly in the way terrorists would promote their ideologies.

Acts

The following measures were enacted under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, thus making the measures legal under international law.

All countries were required to impose an arms embargo, travel ban and financial sanctions against all terrorist groups and individuals. Furthermore, countries could propose names for listing on a sanctions list and had to use the form provided in the annex of the resolution.[2] The 1267 Committee was asked to develop, adopt and implement guidelines regarding individuals to be removed from the list.

The resolution went on to detail procedures for implementing the measures, taking note of exemptions, co-operation and the exchange of information, sanctions on the Taliban and outreach.[3] The mandate of the monitoring team based in New York City was extended for a further period of 18 months; its responsibilities were outlined in the annex of the resolution, including dealing with instances of non-compliance.[4]
