This Presidential/Cabinet Decision (No. 11150), issued on 3 April 2026, amends Annex List (1) of the earlier Council of Ministers Decision No. 2013/5428 dated 30 September 2013. The underlying 2013 decision implements Turkey's obligations to freeze assets belonging to individuals, entities, and organizations designated under four key UN Security Council resolutions: UNSCR 1267 (1999), UNSCR 1988 (2011), UNSCR 1989 (2011), and UNSCR 2253 (2015). These UN resolutions establish the consolidated sanctions regimes targeting the Taliban (UNSCR 1988), Al-Qaeda and associated individuals/entities (UNSCR 1989 and its successor UNSCR 2253), and the broader framework originally created by UNSCR 1267. Turkey, as a UN member state, is obligated to implement these designations domestically, including asset freezes, travel bans, and arms embargoes. Decision No. 11150 specifically modifies the designated persons/entities list by adding, removing, or updating entries to align Turkey's national sanctions list with the latest updates from the UN Sanctions Committee. The exact additions or deletions are contained within the formal gazette text but are not reproduced in the submitted excerpt. This is a routine administrative update to maintain compliance with international sanctions obligations, ensuring that Turkish financial institutions, businesses, and authorities can enforce asset freezing measures against the currently designated targets.
