Thanks for sharing your feedback!
On 31 October 2005, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1636 (2005), (UNSCR 1636 (2005)) acknowledging the report of the UN International Investigation Commission chaired by Mr Detlev Mehlis on the 14 February 2005 terrorist bombing in Beirut, Lebanon, that killed 23 people, including former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, and caused injury to dozens of people (the Investigation Commission).
UNSCR 1636 (2005) imposes measures to prevent the entry into or transit through Member States’ territories of, and the freezing of funds and economic resources of, persons registered by the Committee of the Security Council established by paragraph 3(b) of UNSCR 1636 (2005) (the Committee) as suspected of involvement in the planning, sponsoring, organising or perpetrating of the terrorist bombing.
On 7 November 2005, the EU Council deplored the clear indication that Syria had not cooperated fully with the investigating team and called upon Syria to cooperate unconditionally with the investigators.
