Kuwaiti authorities have revised the national list of individuals and entities linked to terrorism financing and money laundering, aligning with the United Nations Security Council's Chapter VII directives. This move strengthens Kuwait’s commitment to international anti-terrorism standards and financial transparency.

The updated list, released by the Committee for the Implementation of UN Security Council Resolutions, includes 118 individuals from diverse backgrounds. The breakdown by nationality is as follows:

• 17 Syrians
• 16 Somalis
• 13 Yemenis
• 9 Lebanese

Additionally, the list features 11 expatriates, 9 stateless Bedouns, and 11 individuals whose nationalities have not been disclosed.

The update also includes 13 organizations allegedly linked to terror funding. While their names have not been publicly disclosed, the entities are believed to operate across various regions and industries. These organizations are being monitored for suspected involvement in illegal financial networks supporting terrorist operations.

This comprehensive revision of the national list demonstrates Kuwait’s proactive approach in fighting terrorism financing and enforcing global security compliance. Authorities have emphasized their dedication to enhancing regional coordination and fulfilling their obligations under international law.

Kuwait’s security and financial institutions continue to cooperate with global partners to block funding sources for terrorism. This updated list is part of a broader initiative to align with global counter-terrorism efforts and prevent the misuse of financial systems.

Kuwait's updated terror financing list marks a firm step toward safeguarding national and international interests, reinforcing the country’s zero-tolerance policy towards activities that threaten security and stability.
