Notice of Revision of list of Individuals and Entities associated with Usama Bin Laden, Taliban and Al-Qaida

Summary

This is a notice from the BVI Financial Services Commission informing the public and industry that the United Nations Security Council's Consolidated List of Individuals and Entities associated with Usama Bin Laden, the Taliban and Al-Qaida (maintained under UNSCR 1390 (2002)) has been updated. The notice lists new individuals added to the list and amendments to existing listed individuals' details, and directs readers to the UN's own consolidated list for the authoritative version.

• New listings: Several new individuals were added under 'Part C' of the Consolidated List associated with Al-Qaida, each with identifying details (name, date/place of birth, aliases, nationality, passport details, address, listing date).
• Amendments: A number of previously listed individuals had their entries amended, updating aliases, addresses, sentencing/deportation status, and other identifying information.
• Measures imposed: Persons on the list remain subject to a travel ban, assets freeze and arms embargo under UNSCR 1390 (2002).

The notice is purely informational, alerting regulated entities and the public to the updated list so that sanctions screening and compliance checks can be kept current; it does not itself set out new legal obligations beyond the pre-existing sanctions screening duties under the BVI's sanctions regime.

Applies to

financial institutions and other persons subject to BVI sanctions and AML/CFT screening obligations, regulated entities supervised by the BVI FSC
