Masood Azhar’s listing as global terrorist ‘significant achievement’, says UNSC

The listing subjects Azhar to an assets freeze, travel ban and an arms embargo.

The UNSC blacklisted Azhar on May 1 after veto-wielding permanent member China lifted its technical hold on the proposal by the US, the UK and France to list him.

The listing of Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist by the UN Security Council has been termed as a “significant achievement” by the member nations in holding perpetrators, organisers and sponsors of acts of terrorism accountable.
