UNSC Resolutions, Sanctions and other Notices
In order to be pro-active and upon request of the Qatar Anti Terrorism Committee and the Qatar Financial Information Unit , the QFC Regulatory Authority will attempt to notify the MLROs of Financial Institutions and designated non-financial businesses or professions “DNFBPs” of updates or relevant notices issued by these bodies or other national and international bodies and associations. This does not alleviate Firms from their regulatory obligation under Rule 2.3.4(e) of the Regulatory Authority AML/CFT Rules 2010, to receive and act on government, regulatory and international findings about AML and CFT issues. Firms are required to keep current with respect to any relevant information issued by these or other relevant bodies.
United Nations Security Council Resolutions
United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolutions which have been issued under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter are immediately binding on all United Nations member states. The UNSC administers a list pursuant to UNSC Resolution 1267 (and 1333, 1390, 1455, 1526, 1617 and 1735) which identifies known individuals and entities associated with Al Qaida, Usama Bin Laden and/or the Taliban. This list is updated continuously and amendments are incorporated into the consolidated list which can be found on their website. http://www.un.org/sc/committees/1267/consolist.shtml
Other Notices
The Regulatory Authority will also distribute notices issued directly from the Qatar National Anti Terrorism Committee, relevant statements issued by the Financial Action Task Force and other agencies such as INTERPOL.
