UN-Listed Individuals and Entities Seeking De-listing
Individuals and entities may request for de-listing if they
have been listed by the United Nations (UN) (other than those
listed under the UN Security Council Resolutions (UNSCRs)
1267/1989 and 1988) but do not or no longer meet the criteria
for designation.
To apply, send the request for de-listing to the
UN focal point .
Alternatively, Singapore citizens and Singapore-incorporated
entities may choose to send a request to
webmaster@mas.gov.sg .
All requests will be assessed by the relevant authorities based
on criteria set out in the relevant UNSCRs. At the end of
the review, you will be informed of a decision from the relevant
authorities in Singapore.
If you have been assessed to no longer meet the criteria for
designation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will submit
a de-listing request to the relevant Security Council Committee.
Upon successful de-listing by the relevant Security Council
Committee, the prohibition and freezing mechanisms under
the relevant MAS Regulations and UN Regulations will no longer
apply to the individual or entity.
Individuals and Entities Seeking Unfreezing
In exceptional cases, individuals and entities not listed by
the UN as designated individuals or entities may be inadvertently
affected by the prohibition or freezing mechanism under the
regulations issued under section 27A(1)(b) of the Monetary
Authority of Singapore Act (Cap. 186) or regulations issued
under section 2(1) of the United Nations Act (Cap. 339).
For example, an individual or entity could have a name similar
to that of a designated individual or entity.
Affected parties may write to MAS at
webmaster@mas.gov.sg to request for assistance. The request
should include information and supporting documents demonstrating
that they are not a designated person or entity.
Upon verification, the relevant authorities will work with
the affected parties to clarify and resolve the prohibition
or freezing issue.
