               United Nations                                                                   S/RES/1699 (2006)
               Security Council                                               Distr.: General
                                                                              8 August 2006




               Resolution 1699 (2006)
               Adopted by the Security Council at its 5507th meeting, on
               8 August 2006
                    The Security Council,
                     Recalling its resolution 1617 (2005) requesting increased cooperation between
               the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) and the Committee
               established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999) (the “1267 Committee”),
                    Recalling also the cooperation agreement of 8 July 1997 between the United
               Nations and Interpol, and the exchange of letters of 8 December 2005 and 5 January
               2006 supplementing the agreement,
                    Welcoming the constructive role that Interpol has played to help the 1267
               Committee fulfil its mandate, inter alia, through the creation of the Interpol-United
               Nations Security Council Special Notices,
                     Noting that such cooperation with Interpol could also benefit the other
               sanctions committees established by the Security Council (the “Committees”),
               further noting that each committee might come up with its own conclusion in this
               regard,
                    Stressing that Security Council sanctions measures are often implemented
               under national law, including criminal law where applicable, and that enhanced
               cooperation between the United Nations and Interpol would enhance States’
               enforcement of those laws,
                      Emphasizing the obligations placed upon all Member States to implement, in
               full, the mandatory measures adopted by the Security Council,
                     1.    Requests the Secretary-General to take the necessary steps to increase
               cooperation between the United Nations and Interpol in order to provide the
               Committees with better tools, to fulfil their mandates more effectively, and to give
               Member States better optional tools to implement those measures adopted by the
               Security Council and monitored by the Committees, as well as similar measures that
               may be adopted by the Security Council in the future, particularly the freezing of
               assets, travel bans, and arms embargoes;
                     2.    Encourages Member States to use the tools offered by Interpol,
               particularly the I-24/7 global police communications system, to reinforce the
               implementation of such measures and similar measures that may be adopted by the
               Security Council in the future;
                    3.    Decides to remain seized of the matter.
