Making Targeted Sanctions Effective - Small Arms Survey

PART IV: TARGETING THE TARGET | 129
13. Guidelines to Assist States in Preparing Reports
on Sanctions Implementation
Background
§ 403 From the discussions in the Stockholm Process it emerges that sanctions
build on the experience and momentum of the innovative
reporting requirements contained in Security Council Resolution
1373 and those used by other Sanctions Committees to contribute
to the effective implementation of targeted sanctions.
§ 404
§ 405
§ 406
§ 407
§ 408
Thus, the document Guidelines to Assist States in Preparing Reports
on Sanctions Implementation has been developed. Its purpose is to
encourage States to take a proactive approach in implementing targeted
sanctions. It is hoped that the guidelines can help prevent
failures by Member States to report fully, accurately and quickly in
response to resolutions that require such reporting.
These guidelines could be distributed to Member States following
the adoption of Security Council resolutions imposing targeted
sanctions. This information is particularly important for those
Member States who are in the frontlines of implementation of targeted
sanctions.
The blanks below relate to the sanction-initiating resolution and
relevant subsections thereof and will, of course, vary for each case.
The submitted reports will be circulated to the members of the
Sanctions Committee and the members of the Monitoring Group
(Mechanism, etc.). They will also be made publicly available unless
a State specifically requests that the report or the information contained
therein be kept confidential.
With this background, the questions in Box 12 are suggested to be
addressed to the Member States.
