Article 75 explained in plain English
This Article addresses how the Kingdom deals with Security Council resolutions on counter-terrorism or its financing, and assigns this to the Standing Committee for Counter-Terrorism and Its Financing.
The committee's tasks under the Article:
- Receiving requests that come from states, bodies and organizations relating to Security Council resolutions on counter-terrorism or its financing.
- Setting and updating mechanisms.
- Taking the necessary measures and procedures to implement the relevant Security Council resolutions.
Instrument of issuance: the Article ends with the phrase "and shall be issued by decision of the President of State Security" and does not expressly state what is issued by this decision; the phrase may refer to the mechanisms or to the committee itself.
The Article does not describe the content of these mechanisms or measures.
This committee's role differs from that of the committee mentioned in Article 74, which receives mutual legal assistance requests. Article 76 deals with the General Directorate of Financial Intelligence as the central national agency for receiving and analyzing reports linked to the crime of terrorism financing.
Anyone affected by a measure taken to implement these resolutions would do well to consult a lawyer specializing in international matters.
