UNSCR 1373 was passed by the UN on 28 September 2001 and imposed obligations on UN Member States to suppress terrorism. Sub-paragraph 1(c) of Resolution 1373 obliges Member States to: Freeze without delay funds and other financial assets or economic resources of persons who commit, or attempt to commit, terrorist acts or participate in or facilitate the commission of terrorist acts; of entities owned or controlled directly or indirectly by such persons; and of persons and entities acting on behalf of, or at the direction of such persons and entities, including funds derived or generated from property owned or controlled directly or indirectly by such persons and associated persons and entities.

The may list a person or entity on a case-by-case basis if he is satisfied that they are associated with terrorism as described in subparagraph 1(c) of UNSCR 1373.
