Security Council Implements Sanctions on ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida
On June 9, 2025, the United Nations Security Council Committee announced the removal of an individual from the ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida Sanctions List. This decision followed a thorough review of a delisting request submitted through the Office of the Ombudsperson. The removal means that the associated sanctions, including asset freezes, travel bans, and arms embargoes, no longer apply to the individual in question.
Details of the Delisting Decision
The Security Council Committee, which operates under resolutions 1267 (1999), 1989 (2011), and 2253 (2015), concluded its assessment of the delisting request for Hajajj bin Fahd al-Ajmi. The decision was based on a comprehensive report from the Ombudsperson regarding this request. As a result of this review, the sanctions imposed under Security Council resolution 2734 (2024) are no longer applicable to al-Ajmi. This marks a significant change in his status, as he was previously subject to restrictions that limited his financial and travel freedoms.
Profile of Hajajj bin Fahd al-Ajmi
Hajajj bin Fahd al-Ajmi, born on August 10, 1987, in Kuwait, has been known by several aliases, including Hijaj Fahid Hijaj Muhammad Sahib al-Ajmi and Sheikh Hajaj al-Ajami. The removal from the sanctions list indicates a shift in the assessment of his activities and affiliations. The Security Council Committee maintains that the names of individuals and entities removed from the sanctions list can be found in the “Press Releases” section on their official website.
Accessing Updated Sanctions Information
The ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida Sanctions List is regularly updated based on information provided by member states and international organizations. The latest version of the list is available on the Committee’s website, ensuring that all stakeholders have access to current information. Additionally, the Consolidated United Nations Security Council List is also updated to reflect any changes made to the ISIL and Al-Qaida Sanctions List.
Role of the Office of the Ombudsperson
The Office of the Ombudsperson plays a crucial role in the delisting process, providing a platform for individuals to contest their inclusion on the sanctions list. Information regarding the status of cases handled by the Ombudsperson can be accessed through their dedicated website. This transparency is essential for maintaining the integrity of the sanctions process and ensuring that individuals have the opportunity to seek redress.
