To date, however, the AMLC Secretariat has yet to receive suspicious transaction report involving MOHAMED BEN MOHAMED BEN KHALIFA ABDELHEDI. CDHacE Rule 13.g.2 of the 2012 Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations of the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001, as amended, provides: "Rule 13.g.2. Authority to Assist the United Nations and other International Organizations and Foreign States. The AMLC is authorized under Section 7 (8) and 13 (b) and (d) of the AMLA, as amended, to receive and take action in respect of any request of foreign States for assistance in their own anti-money laundering operations. It is also authorized under Section 7 (7) of the AMLA, as amended, to cooperate with the National Government and/or take appropriate action in respect of 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. However, the AMLC may refuse to comply with any such request, convention, resolution or directive where the action sought therein contravenes the provision of the Constitution or the execution thereof is likely to prejudice the national interest of the Philippines. As a charter member of the United Nations and as part of the international coalition against terrorism, the Philippines, through the AMLC, must actively support the actions required under the UNSC Resolution 2083 (2012), in relation to UNSC Resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011). The Council resolved to: (1) Inform all covered persons previously notified of AMLC Resolution No. 108 dated 17 November 2010 of the removal of the name of MOHAMED BEN MOHAMED BEN KHALIFA ABDELHEDI from the Al-Qaida Sanctions List of Individuals and Entities Subject to Assets Freeze; and (2) Request the Supervising Authorities to disseminate copies of this Resolution to the said covered persons under their respective jurisdictions.
