27 Security Council Resolution 1452 (Dec. 20, 2002) introduced a “humanitarian exemption” to allow the targeted individuals to keep the funds necessary for their basic living expenses. At the outset there was no procedure available for challenging the wrongful inclusion of the names on the list. The Security Council later introduced a “de-listing” procedure that enables the targeted individuals and entities to submit a request for de-listing to the Sanctions Committee either through their states of residence or citizenship or through a “UN focal point” in the UN Secretariat. See Security Council Resolutions 1730 (Dec. 19, 2006) and 1735 (Dec. 22, 2006).
