UNSC Resolution 1267
Why is it in News?
After the Pulwama attacks in Kashmir, France also condemned the attack and decided to invoke UNSC 1267 Resolution against JeM Chief Masood Azhar.
What is the UNSC 1267 Resolution?
- United Nations Security Council Resolution 1267 was adopted unanimously on 15 October 1999 for overseeing the sanction measures against Taliban and Osama bin Laden. Owing to this fact, UNSC Resolution 1267 is also called as Al-Qaida & Taliban Sanctions Committee.
- Due to the changing pattern of terrorism, the provisions of UNSC 1267 were further broadened and strengthened by other resolutions.
What happens if a person is listed in UNSC 1267?
It leads to curtailment of their movement, freezing and seizure of their properties. UNSC 1267 empowers the government of that country (where they resides) to take all possible actions against them.
How is the decision taken by the UNSC?
Decision is taken by consensus i.e. all the 15 members have to be on same page for declaring an organisation or a person a terrorist under the UNSC 1267 Resolution.
Why Masood Azhar is not declared as a Terrorist under UNSC 1267?
Due to opposition by China, UNSC fails to declare Masood Azhar as an International Terrorist.
