This is an action request. At the 10 November informal meeting of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1521 (2003) concerning LIBERIA ("the Liberia Sanctions Committee" - www.un.org/sc/committees/1521/index.shtml),if no other delegation objects, USUN should place a hold on the Focal Point delisting request for Ali Kleilat (AKA: Ali Ramadan Kleilat Al-Dilby; DOB: 10 July 1970, 10 July 1963; POB: Beirut; citizen of the Netherlands, Liberia, and Lebanon). Ali Kleilat is currently subject to the measures imposed by paragraph 4 of UN Security Council resolution 1521 (2003) and paragraph 1 of 1532 (2004),which include a travel ban and asset freeze. USUN may inform the French Mission to the UN that we will place a hold on Ali Kleilat's delisting request to conduct further investigations, if they do not object to his delisting petition. USUN should also inform the Liberian Mission to the UN that the U.S. has placed a hold on Ali Kleilat's delisting request and request any information the Government of LIBERIA has on Kleilat's activities. As a Liberian citizen, and as a person on the LIBERIA Sanctions Committee's asset freeze and travel ban lists, the Government of LIBERIA has a responsibility to thoroughly review such delisting petitions and provide the Committee with its opinion on the delisting request.
