POINT DELISTING REQUEST
REF: SCSOB/DL/2009/OC.97
1. This is an action request. Prior to the No Objection
Deadline of 10 November, USUN is requested to object to the
Focal Point delisting request for Ignace Murwanashyaka (DOB:
14 May 1963; POB: Ngoma, Butare, Rwanda; citizen of Rwanda;
resident of Germany). USUN may inform the UK and French
Missions to the UN that we have objected to Ignace
Murwanashyaka's delisting request. USUN may also inform the
Rwandan Mission to the UN that the U.S. was one of the
listing States and that we have objected to Ignace
Murwanashyaka's delisting request. However, USUN should not
inform the Rwandan Mission of the position on the delisting
taken by other UN Missions or reveal which other States
cosponsored the listing, given that decisions of the
Committee are made by consensus in closed meetings.
2. Ignace Murwanashyaka should continue to be subject to the
measures imposed by paragraphs 13 and 15 of UN Security
Council resolution 1596 (2005) concerning the Democratic
Republic of the Congo, which include a travel ban and asset
freeze. As President of the Rwandan Democratic Liberation
Forces (FDLR),Ignace Murwanashyaka continues to pose a
serious threat to the peace and security of the entire Great
Lakes region. Ignace Murwanashyaka's Focal Point delisting
request does not contest his leadership role in the FDLR.
Paragraph 5 of resolution 1804 (2008) stressed that the
targeted measures that apply to political and military
leaders of armed groups operating in the DRC who impede the
disarmament and the voluntary repatriation or resettlement of
combatants belonging to those groups are applicable to
leaders of the FDLR. The Security Council affirmed this
designation criterion in paragraph 4(b) of resolution 1857
(2008).
