The Reserve Bank of India has implemented Section 51A of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, to update the UNSC's 1267/1989 ISIL (Da'esh) and Al-Qaida Sanctions List.

The update involves the amendment of 04 entries in the sanctions list, as part of the country's efforts to comply with the United Nations Security Council's resolutions.

## What changed The amendment of the 04 entries in the sanctions list is a significant step in India's fight against terrorism. The UNSC's 1267/1989 sanctions list is aimed at restricting the activities of individuals and entities associated with ISIL (Da'esh) and Al-Qaida.

## Why it matters The implementation of Section 51A of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, and the update to the UNSC's sanctions list, demonstrates India's commitment to combating terrorism and its resolve to take action against individuals and entities that pose a threat to global peace and security.

The update to the sanctions list will help to prevent the flow of funds and resources to terrorist organizations, and will also help to restrict the movement of individuals associated with these organizations.

The Reserve Bank of India's implementation of Section 51A of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, is an important step in the country's efforts to prevent and suppress the financing of terrorist activities.
