Article 3 shall be replaced by the following: ‘Article 3 1. Member States shall take the necessary measures to prevent the entry into, or transit through, their territories of: (a) the persons designated by the Committee or by the UN Security Council as being responsible for, including through supporting or promoting, DPRK policies in relation to DPRK’s nuclear-related, ballistic missile-related and other weapons of mass destruction-related programmes, together with their family members, as listed in Annex I; (b) persons not covered by Annex I who are responsible for, including through supporting or promoting, DPRK's nuclear-related, ballistic missile-related and other weapons of mass destruction-related programmes, as listed in Annex II; (c) persons not covered by Annex I or Annex II who provide financial services or the transfer to, through, or from the territory of Member States, or involving nationals of Member States or entities organised under their laws, or persons or financial institutions in their territory, of any financial or other assets or resources that could contribute to the DPRK’s nuclear-related, ballistic missile-related, or other weapons of mass destruction-related programmes, as listed in Annex III. 2. Paragraph 1(a) shall not apply where the Committee determines on a case-by-case basis that such travel is justified on the grounds of humanitarian need, including religious obligations, or where the Committee concludes that an exemption would otherwise further the objectives of UNSCR 1718 (2006) or UNSCR 1874 (2009). 3. Paragraph 1 shall not oblige a Member State to refuse its own nationals entry into its territory. 4. Paragraph 1 shall be without prejudice to cases where a Member State is bound by an obligation of international law, namely: (i) as a host country of an international intergovernmental organisation; (ii) as a host country to an international conference convened by, or under the auspices of, the United Nations; (iii) under a multilateral agreement conferring privileges and immunities; (iv) under the 1929 Treaty of Conciliation (Lateran pact) concluded by the Holy See (State of the Vatican City) and Italy. 5. Paragraph 4 shall be considered as applying also in cases where a Member State is host country of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). 6. The Council shall be duly informed in all cases where a Member State grants an exemption pursuant to paragraph 4 or 5. 7. Member States may grant exemptions from the measures imposed in paragraph 1 where travel is justified on the grounds of urgent humanitarian need, or on grounds of attending intergovernmental meetings, including those promoted by the European Union, or hosted by a Member State holding the Chairmanship in office of the OSCE, where a political dialogue is conducted that directly promotes democracy, human rights and the rule of law in DPRK. 8. A Member State wishing to grant exemptions referred to in paragraph 7 shall notify the Council thereof in writing. The exemption shall be deemed to be granted unless one or more of the Council Members raise an objection in writing within two working days of receiving notification of the proposed exemption. Should one or more of the Council members raise an objection, the Council, acting by a qualified majority, may decide to grant the proposed exemption. 9. In cases where, pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5 and 7, a Member State authorises the entry into, or transit through, its territory of persons listed in Annexes I, II or III, the authorisation shall be limited to the purpose for which it is given and to the persons concerned thereby. 10. Member States shall notify the Committee of the entry into or transit through, their territories of the persons set out in Annex I, if an exception has been granted.’;
