Supplementing this overarching Resolution are specific sanctions regimes imposed by the Security Council in response to specific threats to international peace and security. These target particular actors, such as non-state armed groups in Somalia (under UN Security Council Resolution 733 of 1992) and groups in Afghanistan (based on UN Security Council Resolution 1267 of 1999). The Somalia sanctions regime targets Al-Shabaab and associates, and the Afghanistan regime, established in the wake of the August 1998 bombings of US embassies in East Africa, targets Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Although these sanctions regimes are not necessarily characterised as counter-terrorism measures, as discussed further below, the individuals subject to UN sanctions are often brought within the ambit of national counter-terrorist laws.
