By resolution 1591 (2005) the Security Council decided to impose individual targeted sanctions (a travel ban and an assets freeze, on individuals as designated by the Committee). By resolution 2035 (2012), the Council decided that the listing criteria set out in paragraph 3 (c) of resolution 1591 (2005) would also apply to entities.

The 1591 Sanctions List currently contains the names of 3 individuals. The 1591 Sanctions list was last updated on 5 March 2021.

The Committee works with INTERPOL to produce INTERPOL-United Nations Security Council Special Notices for listed individuals and entities. These notices promote information sharing and implementation of the measures among Member States.
