¹⁴ Resolution 1333 does not require that a listed person have committed a crime and he may not be aware that his action may have contributed to financing terrorism. Further, a measure under Article 41 is not necessarily a sanction in its traditional meaning, i.e., deployed against a lawbreaker, but may be applied when it is considered conducive to maintaining international peace and justice. It then has an administrative, preventive character.

¹⁵ In Resolution 1390, the Security Council requested that the 1267 Committee “update regularly. . . on the basis of relevant information provided by Member States and regional organizations” and “promulgate such guidelines and criteria as may be necessary to facilitate the implementation of the measures.” SC Res. 1390 (Jan. 28, 2002), para. 5(a), (d), available from <http://www.un.org/Docs/scres/2002/sc202.htm>.

¹⁸ It has been suggested that the time limit of the no-objection procedure, 48 hours, be extended to give members of the committee more time to make independent assessments of names put forward. However, the more time between when the listings become known and when the measures are enforced, the more likely it is that accounts are found empty. A well-designed review mechanism would provide a legal safeguard without rendering the sanctions regime less efficient.

¹⁹ Supra note 17, para. 6.

²⁰ Cameron has suggested that a review mechanism consist of an arbitral body where the judges appointed enjoy the trust of both the listed individual and die proposing state. See Cameron, supra note 3, at 47.

²¹ See SC Res. 1390, supra note 10.

²² See Guidelines of the Committee for die Conduct of its Work, UN Security Council Committee Established Pursuant to Resolution 1267 (1999) (Nov. 7, 2002), available at <http://www.un.org/Docs/sc/committees/1267/1267_guidelines.pdf>.

²³ Id., para. 5(a).

²⁴ Id., para. 5(a)-(c).

²⁵ Id., para. 7(a)-(d). If the designating state is a member of the committee, the chances of success must be considered slim.

²⁶ One could also argue that the members of the Security Council and the 1267 Committee are bound individually, in their national capacities, to abide by their human rights commitments.

²⁷ Although these provisions do not state an express legal obligation to honor human rights, they impose at least a moral duty on states to do their best in good faith to respect and promote human rights.

²⁸ For a thorough analysis of human rights obligations in the Swedish case, see Cameron, supra note 3.

²⁹ See id. at 32.

³⁰ There was general agreement early in the like of the United Nations that effective protection of human rights through or under the auspices of the United Nations would strengthen the authority of the organization; see 1 Oppenheim’s International Law 991 (Roberts Jennings & Arthur Watts eds., 9th ed. 1996).
