United Nations Security Council resolution 1363
, adopted unanimously on 30 July 2001, after reaffirming all
resolutions
on the situation in
Afghanistan
, including resolutions
1267
(1999) and
1333
(2000), the Council requested the
Secretary-General
to establish a mechanism to monitor the implementation of sanctions against the
Taliban
.
[1]
The Security Council determined that the situation in Afghanistan constituted a threat to international peace and security, and, acting under
Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter
, requested all countries to comply with previous sanctions against the Taliban,
Al-Qaeda
and
Osama bin Laden
. It requested the Secretary-General
Kofi Annan
to establish a mechanism within 30 days to:
[2]
- (a) monitor the implementation of measures included in resolution 1267 and 1333;
- (b) provide assistance to states neighbouring Afghan territory under Taliban control with regard to the implementation of the sanctions;
- (c) investigate violations of the measures.
The mechanism would consist of a Monitoring Group of up to five experts based in New York City to monitor the implementation of the measures with respect to
arms embargoes
counter-terrorism
and
money laundering
,
[3]
and a support team under its co-ordination consisting of 15 members based in states neighbouring Afghanistan. The Monitoring Group was required to report to the Committee of the Security Council established in Resolution 1267, of which the latter would report to the Security Council.
All countries were asked to strengthen and enforce the sanctions under their domestic laws against individuals and entities operating on their territory to deal with violations of the measures.
[4]
All states were subsequently invited to report the results of their findings to the Committee unless it would compromise their investigations. Finally, the Secretary-General was called upon to make arrangements to support the monitoring mechanism and the Council declared its intention to review the measures based on information provided through the monitoring mechanism.
The resolution, proposed by
Colombia
, allowed for monitors to be stationed mainly in
Pakistan
; measures were not adopted against the
Northern Alliance
.
[5]
In response to the adoption of Resolution 1363, the Taliban and affiliated groups said they would kill United Nations monitors stationed at the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
