Best Practices Guide

The Best Practices Guide was developed over two years of consultations with the representatives of many UN Member States, the African Union and the European Union, delegations to the Human Rights Council, officials of the UN secretariat, over 60 sanctions monitoring experts, numerous non-government organiations and humanitarian aid provders, as well as compliance professionals of companies around the world.

The governments of Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden, in collaboration with many other interested states and stakeholders, and assisted by Compliance and Capacity Skills International (CCSI) intend the Guide to contribute to a more effective UN sanctions system in achieving a more peaceful and secure world. The Guide will assist newly elected Chairs, E10 delegations and sanctions monitoring experts in preparing for their mandates, and will also enable the fuller and more effective participation of all stakeholders in the UN sanctions system.
