Guidance Issued By The Sanctions Monitoring Board – Libya Sanctions

The United Nations Security Council ('UNSC') constantly highlights the importance of international support for Libyan control over its territory and resources. The Council persistently promotes regional cooperation in order to stabilise the alarming situation in Libya. One main weapon used by the Council for said promotion is Resolution 2213 of 2015 whereby the prevention of illicit acts is highlighted. It is believed that the latter acts are one of the main causes of the destabilisation of Libya.

Also, the President of the United States of America, in view of the UNSC resolutions 2174 of 2014 and 2213 of 2015, enacted the Presidential Executive Order whereby individuals' assets may be seized if found guilty and responsible for or complicit in, to have engaged in, directly or indirectly in activities that threaten the peace, security and stability of Libya.
