## Policy Analysis Report: Amendment to the Implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions on Somalia and Eritrea Order, 2016
**1. Executive Summary:**
This report analyzes an amendment to the "Implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions on Somalia and Eritrea Order, 2016." The amendment, enacted on July 7, 2021, focuses on updating Annexure 5 of the original order, specifically by adding five new entries under the "Individuals" subheading. These entries list individuals associated with activities that threaten the peace, security, or stability of Somalia, and their addition likely aims to strengthen the enforcement of UN Security Council resolutions related to Somalia.
**2. Introduction:**
This report provides an informative analysis of the amendment to the "Implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions on Somalia and Eritrea Order, 2016," as published in the Gazette of India on July 7, 2021. The analysis is based solely on the provided policy text.
**3. Policy Overview:**
* This report concerns an *amendment* to the "Implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions on Somalia and Eritrea Order, 2016."
* The core objective, inferred from the text, is to implement United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Somalia and Eritrea. The amendment specifically focuses on identifying and listing individuals associated with threats to peace, security, and stability in Somalia.
**4. Background and Rationale:**
The rationale for this specific amendment appears to be the need to update and strengthen the list of individuals sanctioned under the "Implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions on Somalia and Eritrea Order, 2016." The inclusion of new individuals suggests an ongoing effort to target those involved in activities that undermine stability in Somalia, as defined by UN Security Council Resolution 1844 (2008).
**5. Key Provisions / Changes:**
This amendment focuses specifically on changes within the original "Implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions on Somalia and Eritrea Order, 2016"
* **Specific Part Changed:** The amendment modifies the "Schedule," specifically "Annexure 5," under the heading "A. Individuals."
* **New Rule/Provision:** The amendment adds the following entries:
* SOi.016: Information pertaining to Ahmad Iman Ali and aliases.
* SOi.017: Information pertaining to Abdifatah Abubakar Abdi and aliases.
* SOi.018: Information pertaining to ABUKAR ALI ADAN and aliases.
* SOi.019: Information pertaining to MAALIM AYMAN and aliases.
* SOi.020: Information pertaining to MAHAD KARATE and aliases.
Each entry includes details like names, aliases, title, designation, date and place of birth, nationality, passport/identification numbers (where available, often "na"), addresses, and the date they were listed (March 8, 2018 for the first two, and February 26, 2021 for the last three). Notably, entries SOi.018, SOi.019 and SOi.020 are listed pursuant to paragraph 8a of resolution 1844 (2008) for engaging in or providing support for acts that threaten the peace, security or stability of Somalia.
* **Difference/Effect:** The addition of these individuals to the list effectively subjects them to the sanctions and restrictions outlined in the original order and relevant UN Security Council resolutions. This likely includes asset freezes, travel bans, and arms embargoes.
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**
Based on the provided text, the direct target audience includes the listed individuals and any entities or persons who may be conducting business with them or providing them with support. Stakeholders include:
* Government agencies responsible for implementing sanctions (potentially the Ministry of External Affairs as indicated).
* Financial institutions and other businesses that must comply with sanctions regulations.
* Individuals and organizations operating in Somalia and Eritrea.
* International organizations, particularly the United Nations.
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**
* **Responsible Agency:** The "Ministry of External Affairs" is likely responsible for implementing the amendment, as indicated by the order being issued under their authority.
* **Timelines/Procedures:** The amendment came into force on the date of its publication in the Official Gazette (July 7, 2021). The text does not detail specific procedures, but it can be inferred that relevant government agencies and financial institutions must update their databases and procedures to include these newly listed individuals.
* **(Amendment Specific):** The implementation aspects center around disseminating the updated list of sanctioned individuals to relevant parties and ensuring compliance with the associated restrictions.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
The likely intended outcome of these changes is to:
* Weaken the capacity of the listed individuals to engage in activities that threaten the peace, security, and stability of Somalia.
* Deter others from providing support to these individuals or engaging in similar activities.
* Reinforce the implementation of UN Security Council resolutions related to Somalia.
* The impact of the amendment would be an increased scrutiny of transactions and activities involving the listed individuals and stricter enforcement of sanctions against them.
**9. Conclusion:**
This report has analyzed the amendment to the "Implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions on Somalia and Eritrea Order, 2016," which updates the list of individuals sanctioned for activities threatening the stability of Somalia. This amendment reflects an ongoing effort to enforce UN Security Council resolutions and contribute to peace and security in the region. The effectiveness of the amendment will depend on the thoroughness of its implementation and the cooperation of stakeholders in adhering to the sanctions regime.
