Cabinet Decision 74 of 2020: Terrorism Lists Regulation and Implementation of UN Security Council Resolutions
The UAE Cabinet issued Decision 74 of 2020 to establish comprehensive procedures for implementing United Nations Security Council resolutions on terrorism, terrorist financing, and weapons proliferation within the United Arab Emirates. The regulation mandates the Supreme Council for National Security to propose, update, and delist entities on domestic terrorism lists while coordinating with international bodies and enforcing immediate asset freezes and other restrictive measures. It further defines strict timelines for listing enforcement, outlines formal grievance and delisting appeal processes for affected parties, and establishes criteria for granting temporary access to frozen funds for humanitarian or legal expenses.
