 ¶1. (U) This is an action request.  USUN is requested to 
inform the UN 1267 (Al-Qaida/Taliban Sanctions) Committee of 
the results of the USG review of names distributed in Tranche 
3 pursuant to the Committee,s review per para 25 of UNSCR 
¶1822.  USUN should inform the Committee that the USG has no 
objection to delisting the 21 names in Para 4 and supports 
continued listing of other tranche 3 names.  Other action 
addressees are asked to advise capitals of the results of our 
review, as outlined in paras 3 & 4. 
 
---------------------- 
SUMMARY AND OBJECTIVES 
---------------------- 
¶2. (SBU) The United States Government has completed its 
review of the third tranche of names circulated by the UN 
(al-Qaida/Taliban Sanctions) Committee chair in furtherance 
of the committee's work toward completing a comprehensive 
review by June 2010 of the UN 1267 Consolidated List, as 
mandated in paragraph 25 of UNSCR 1822.  Department would 
like at this time to share with the UN 1267 Committee and 
partner nations USG findings based on consultations conducted 
per REFTEL and USG review of each name per UNSCR 1822 
guidelines. FYI, details on the names are provided in REFTEL 
which went to all addressees.  In addition, the code in 
parentheses following each name is keyed to the searchable UN 
1267 Committee's "Consolidated List" at: 
(www.un.org/sc/committees/1267/consolist.shtm l).

ACTION REQUEST 
-------------- 
¶3. (U) Action addresses are requested to share as soon as 
possible at the highest appropriate level the results of USG 
review in Para 4.  Posts may draw on the following points. 
 
- The U.S. review efforts illustrate: 
-- -- the seriousness with which the USG is taking its 
obligations pursuant to resolution 1822; 
-- -- our resolve to ensure meaningful review of the 
sanctions list and our commitment to ensure fairness and 
transparency in the implementation of sanctions; 
-- -- our view that the comprehensive review of the sanctions 
list is not simply a de-listing exercise, but that the USG 
has taken this opportunity to thoroughly review our files 
and, to the best of our ability, ensure that the listings we 
continue to support remain appropriate; 
 
- Of the 129 names circulated under tranche 3, the USG was 
asked to review 83 names as sponsor or co-sponsor of the 
original designation.  After a careful review, the US 
supports or has no objection to the delisting of 21 names of 
 
STATE 00015537  002.2 OF 003 
 
 
individuals and entities.

BACKGROUND

STATE 00015537  003.2 OF 003 
 
 
¶3. (U) In order to ensure that the sanctions under UNSCR 1267 
are implemented as fairly and transparently as possible, the 
Council made several changes to the regime in resolution 
1822, adopted in June 2008.  These measures include: 
requiring states that request new listings to provide 
information that may be released to the public on the 
proposed party's association with al-Qaida or the Taliban; 
requiring the committee to make available on its website a 
narrative summary of the reasons for listing for each 
individual and entity on the Consolidated List; and 
strengthening the call on states to properly notify parties 
when they are listed for sanctions.  The Council also 
required the Committee to review by June 2010 every entry on 
the Consolidated List at the time of the adoption of UNSCR 
1822 (June 2008) to ensure that each entry on the list 
remains appropriate and is as accurate as possible. 
Furthermore, at the completion of this comprehensive review, 
the committee going forward now must review on an annual 
basis each entry that has not been reviewed in three or more 
years. End Background.
