Targeted Financial Sanctions
Targeted Financial Sanctions (TFS) refers to Asset Freezing without delay and Prohibitions to prevent Funds or other Assets from being made directly or indirectly available to the benefit of designated persons or entities. TFS are implemented under two regimes:
i. United Nations Sanctions Regime
TFS under the UN sanctions regime apply to any person or entity listed under this regime in any jurisdiction across the world. As a member of the United Nations, Kenya is bound by the decisions and resolutions of the United Nations Security Council with respect to threats to the peace, breaches of the peace, and acts of aggression under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, including measures that do not involve the use of armed force under Article 41. Consequently, Kenya is committed to implement UNSCRs, including those related to UN sanctions regimes.
