UN carves out sanctions exemptions for humanitarian aid

UNITED NATIONS, 10 December 2022, (TON): The United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution on Friday to allow humanitarian aid to continue unhindered into countries targeted by UN sanctions, particularly frozen assets.

The text states that payments of funds, economic resources or the provision of goods and services necessary to ensure the timely delivery of humanitarian assistance are permitted and are not a violation of the asset freezes imposed by this Council.

The resolution applies to UN agencies as well as humanitarian organizations participating in UN humanitarian work.
