In accordance with section 8 of the International Sanctions Act, sanctions imposed by a resolution of the UN Security Council is temporarily provisionally on the basis of the resolution until the regulation of the Council of the European Union is updated or adopted. For the effective application of UN sanctions throughout the European Union, the European Union has adopted all UN resolutions into EU law and they are implemented in the Member States through EU regulations. In the case of some regimes, the European Union has taken autonomous restrictive measures in addition to the UN sanctions, in which case the sanctions regimes are hybrid UN-EU regimes.
All natural and legal persons who have to take the measures prescribed in the legislation (the UN resolution and later the EU regulation) implementing the international sanction or refrain from prohibited activities are required to apply the international sanction that has entered into force.
Persons added to the UN sanctions list can submit a request to be removed from the list to the UN Sanctions Committee Focal Point or the Ombudsperson.
