Implementation 19 these sanctions types than the regime-specific political and security situation that triggered the sanctions in the first place. Implementation guidance should be targeted at this audience, and should be designed accordingly: that is, measure by measure, rather than regime by regime. A single Council guidance on, for example, implementing arms embargoes, could still set out the different exemption arrangements applicable to each regime. To facilitate effective implementation of Council sanctions at the national level, the Council needs a mechanism to allow for collective, crosscutting discussion and decision-making on the technical administration of its sanctions regimes, including the issuing of implementation guidance. 4. The Security Council should establish a standing Sanctions Technical Committee (STC), comprised of the sanctions experts from the missions of each Council Member. Responsible for ensuring the consistent interpretation of and implementation guidance for the same sanctions measures across different sanctions regimes, the STC would provide uniform, best practice administration of UN sanctions, and provide a forum to consider expert group recommendations across regimes. The STC should propose a standard set of guidelines for the work of all sanctions committees, and sanctions committees should only deviate from these guidelines where provisions of relevant resolutions require it. 5. The STC should, in collaboration with sanctions committees, prepare and publish consolidations of each type of sanctions measure in a clear and common format, regularly update them, and consider the adoption of implementation guidance to accompany each of these consolidations. 6. The Subsidiary Organs Branch should organise its support to sanctions committees functionally to ensure uniformity in the administration of measures across regimes, and strengthen its analytical support to Member States and expert groups. Individual teams would deal with arms embargoes, asset freezes, travel bans, list maintenance issues (inclusion/removal of individuals/entities from sanctions list for all committees). The Branch has taken this step in relation to the maintenance/publication/dissemination of a single consolidated list of individuals and entities subject to all Security Council sanctions. 7. The Subsidiary Organs Branch should organise contact groups according to expertise (e.g., arms, financial, natural resources) across expert groups to exchange ideas and develop recommendations to improve technical implementation of the sanctions measures. Such contact groups would also enable cross-sharing of information and techniques. The consultations also highlighted the evident and widespread need for more information regarding sanctions, in a format accessible to national and private actors.
