1 For bibliographies on targeted sanctions, especially the 1267 committee, see
the Watson Institute for International Studies projects on targeted sanctions and
terrorist f‌inancing, www.watsoninstitute.org. The Center for Global Counter-Terrorism
Cooperation provides excellent analysis and information regarding security council
efforts to counter terrorism, www.globalct.org.
Much has been written about the role of UN sanctions to counter terrorism in
the aftermath of the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks, specif‌ically sanctions
against al Qaeda and the Taliban under resolution 1267, and broader UN
counterterrorism initiatives under resolution 1373.1 Less attention has been
focused on multilateral sanctions for nonproliferation objectives, despite
the extensive efforts of the security council since the end of the Cold War
to thwart proliferation as well as terrorism. Indeed, before the December
2009 arms embargo was imposed on Eritrea, no new UN sanctions had
been adopted since 2006 that were not proliferation or terrorism-related.
This article will discuss current UN sanctions to counter the proliferation
of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) by Iran and the Democratic People’s
Republic of Korea (North Korea), consider the lessons of counterterrorism
