"The targeted financial sanctions, on UN-designated persons, including freezing of their bank accounts, are in place and being strictly monitored, in compliance with UN sanctions," the FO said. According to the FO statement, the UNSC 1267 Sanctions Committee had granted basic expense exemptions to the designated individuals in 2019, in accordance with exemption provisions of the relevant UNSC resolutions. "The exemptions were granted to allow these individuals to meet their basic expenses and do not involve any restoration or unfreezing of bank accounts. These exemptions are being enforced and monitored as per law," the statement added.
