Since the September 11 attack on the United State, terrorism and the issue of Afghanistan emerge above the Security Council's agenda in 2001. During the year, however, the Council also focused on a global range of unstable situations, notably the long-term conflicts in Africa and the continuing violence in the Middle East. In addition, the significant progress in Kosovo and East Timor was closely monitored.

The Nexus Between Iranian National Banks

A U.S.-based law firm succeeded in freezing the funds of the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) in France on behalf of American clients who, in the judgment of U.S. courts, were victims of terrorist attacks sponsored by the Islamic Republic of Iran. Iran has been using its state institutions as agents of the terror activity it perpetrates throughout the world.
The funding for terror activity is partly provided via Bank Melli and sometimes also via Bank Saderat. Melli played a major role in financing the 1994 AMIA bombing in Argentina. AMIA was the central Jewish community center in Buenos Aires. Iranian-sponsored terrorist attack lead to eighty-five people were killed and more than two hundred were wounded. 52 million Swiss francs, and 25 million British pounds were included the freeze. Accounts at Bank Melli (the National Bank of Iran) in Paris that held 231 million Euros and $52 million were also frozen from the terrorist.
