The Consolidated List is earnestly kept up-to-date and accurate by the Security Council Al-Qaida Taliban Sanctions Committee, and it is ensured that this tool is employed by all States in implementing the mandatory measures referred to above. The United Nations Security Council Resolution 1373, adopted on 28 September 2001, calls all member-States to exchange information and cooperate in the prevention and suppression of terrorist acts and to take action against the perpetrators of such acts. Furthermore, States are encouraged to become parties to, and fully implement as soon as possible, the relevant international conventions and protocols to combat terrorism. Republic Act 9160 (AMLA), as amended, authorizes the AMLC to implement such measures as may be necessary and justified under the Act to counteract money laundering. Such measures include, as provided under its Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations (RIRR), cooperation and/or taking appropriate action in respect to conventions, resolutions, and other directives of the United Nations (UN), the UN Security Council, and other international organizations of which the Philippines is a member. HIACac The Council resolved to: 1. Inform all covered institutions of the deletion of (1) BA TAQWA FOR COMMERCE AND REAL ESTATE COMPANY LIMITED and (2) NADA INTERNATIONAL ANSTALT from the Security Council Al-Qaida Consolidated List of Individuals and Entities Subject to the Assets Freeze, Travel Ban and Arms Embargo; and 2.
