Decision Amending Annex (1) List of the Council of Ministers Decision No. 2013/5428 on Freezing of Assets Held by Persons, Entities or Organizations Listed by UN Security Council Resolutions 1267 (1999), 1988 (2011), 1989 (2011) and 2253 (2015) (Decision No. 11149)

This Presidential/Council of Ministers Decision (No. 11149), dated April 3, 2026, amends Annex (1) of the earlier Council of Ministers Decision No. 2013/5428 (dated September 30, 2013), which governs the freezing of assets belonging to individuals, entities, and organizations designated under four UN Security Council resolutions: 1267 (1999), 1988 (2011), 1989 (2011), and 2253 (2015). These resolutions primarily target individuals and entities associated with the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and ISIS/ISIL terrorist networks. The amendment updates the designated persons/entities list (Annex 1) to reflect the latest changes made by the UN Security Council Sanctions Committees. This may involve the addition of new names, removal of delisted individuals or entities, or updates to identifying information such as aliases, dates of birth, or nationalities. Under Turkish law, all natural and legal persons are prohibited from making any assets available to, or conducting any financial transactions with, those appearing on this list. Financial institutions, banks, and other regulated entities are required to immediately freeze any assets they hold on behalf of listed parties and report to the relevant Turkish authorities. This decision aligns Turkey's domestic sanctions list with its international obligations under Chapter VII of the UN Charter and the relevant FATF recommendations on targeted financial sanctions related to terrorism and terrorist financing.
