ABSTRACT
In December 2006 an informal working group recommended that resolutions enforcing sanctions should clearly specify intended goals and targets, include incentives to reward partial compliance, and focus in particular on the finances and movements of leaders (so-called smart sanctions). Urged both sides to cooperate in the implementation of the Tenet work plan and the Mitchell Report recommendations, with the aim of resuming negotiations for a political settlement. Encouraged the Peacebuilding Commission to review its provisional rules of procedure to enhance its focus on developments at country and regional level and to foster greater engagement by its membership. Called for enhanced research into the nexus between terrorism and organized crime and requested the UN Secretary-General to submit to the Council, within a period of one year, a report by the UN Office of Counter-Terrorism and UNODC on this theme.
