On 11 March and 4 September 2013, the Sanctions Committee established pursuant to paragraph 3 of UNSCR 1591 (2005) amended the list of individuals, groups, undertakings and entities subject to restrictive measures and added further information on the grounds for such listing.
The persons concerned may submit at any time a request to the UN Committee established pursuant to paragraph 3 of UNSCR 1591 (2005), together with any supporting documentation, for the decisions to include them in the UN list to be reconsidered. Such request should be sent to the following address:
