Resolution 1988 (2011) maintains in force the sanctions first imposed by Resolution 1267 (1999) against the Taliban. In parallel the Security Council adopted Resolution 1989 (2011) maintaining its previous sanctions against persons associated with Al-Qaida, but separating them out into a separate Resolution.
The main provisions of the 2012 Order in effect continue the asset freeze in respect of the Taliban and persons associated with them in constituting a threat to the peace, stability and security of Afghanistan as designated by the Security Council, and to prohibit funds being made available to such persons. The 2012 Order also prohibits the supply of military goods and technical assistance related to military activities to designated persons.
