Monaco updates 21 entries under Al Qaeda sanctions regime
Monaco updated 21 existing individual and entity records under its Al Qaeda and Islamic State sanctions framework in a decision dated Aug. 19, with no separate effective date specified.
MONACO, August 19, 2026 — Monaco refreshed sanctions records covering people and organizations linked to Al Qaeda, Islamic State and associated groups, updating information relevant to sanctions screening under its international asset-freeze framework.
Minister of State Decision No. 2026-96 amends 21 existing entries: 13 individuals and eight organizations. The action modifies Monaco’s consolidated measures under the UN Al Qaeda and Islamic State regime and EU Regulation 881/2002 rather than identifying the subjects as new designations.
The affected records span several networks and regions. Individual entries concern people associated with Jemaah Islamiyah, the Abu Sayyaf Group, Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and Islamic State-linked activity. The organizational records include groups operating or previously based in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and the Sahel-Sahara region.
The revised records contain screening data such as aliases, birth details, nationalities, addresses, passport or identification numbers, organizational links and information about detention, death or current status. The supplied materials do not distinguish every field changed from the previous version, limiting a precise comparison of old and new data.
Most entries cite an Aug. 18, 2026, decision by the UN sanctions committee. One organizational entry, Ummah Tameer E-Nau, cites an Aug. 13 committee decision and Monaco Minister of State Decision No. 2026-94 alongside the latest amendment.
For compliance teams, changes to aliases, identifiers and status information can affect sanctions-screening matches and list maintenance.
