COUNCIL DECISION 2011/486/CFSP

of 1 August 2011

concerning restrictive measures directed against certain individuals, groups, undertakings and entities in view of the situation in Afghanistan

Further action by the Union is needed in order to implement certain measures.

UNSCR 1988 (2011) also imposed certain restrictive measures with respect to individuals and entities designated prior to 17 June 2011 as the Taliban, and other individuals, groups, undertakings and entities associated with them, as specified in section A (‘Individuals associated with the Taliban’) and section B (‘entities and other groups and undertaking associated with the Taliban’) of the Consolidated List of the Committee established pursuant to UNSCR 1267 (1999) and UNSCR 1333 (2000) as of 17 June 2011, as well as other individuals, groups, undertakings and entities associated with the Taliban in constituting a threat to the peace, stability and security of Afghanistan as designated by the Security Council Committee established pursuant to paragraph 30 of UNSCR 1988 (2011) (hereinafter the ‘Sanctions Committee’).

UNSCR 1988 (2011) also recognised that notwithstanding the evolution of the situation in Afghanistan and progress in reconciliation, the situation remains a threat to international peace and security and reaffirmed the need to combat that threat.

On 17 June 2011, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution (‘UNSCR’) 1988 (2011) recognising that the security situation in Afghanistan has evolved and that some members of the Taliban have reconciled with the Government of Afghanistan, have rejected the terrorist ideology of Al-Qaida and its followers, and support a peaceful resolution to the continuing conflict in Afghanistan.

On 27 May 2002, the Council adopted Common Position 2002/402/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Usama bin Laden, members of the Al-Qaida organisation and the Taliban and other individuals, groups, undertakings and entities associated with them ( 1 ).
