This means his bank accounts, property, and other financial assets are locked — he cannot access or use them.\n\n**Why this happened:**\nThe listing is required to comply with **United Nations Security Council Resolution 1373** — a UN decision made after the September 11 attacks that requires all countries to freeze the assets of people involved in terrorism. The Minister has determined that Laraibi falls under this category.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- **Soheyb Laraibi** directly — his Australian passport was already revoked in 2016, and now his assets are frozen\n- **Banks and financial institutions** — they must block any transactions involving his assets\n- **Anyone holding his assets** — they cannot deal with them without special permission\n\n**What rights the listed person has:**\n- Can request a written statement explaining why he was listed\n- Can apply to the Foreign Minister to have the listing cancelled (revoked)\n- Can apply for a special permit to access frozen money for basic living expenses, legal costs, or other specific purposes\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis is part of Australia's anti-terrorism framework. It shows how international UN decisions flow down into Australian law, allowing the government to financially isolate individuals suspected of terrorism links without needing to charge them with a crime first."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/charter-of-the-united-nations-act-1945-listing-2019-no-1","history":"/api/acts/charter-of-the-united-nations-act-1945-listing-2019-no-1/history","analysis":"/api/acts/charter-of-the-united-nations-act-1945-listing-2019-no-1/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/charter-of-the-united-nations-act-1945-listing-2019-no-1/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/charter-of-the-united-nations-act-1945-listing-2019-no-1/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/charter-of-the-united-nations-act-1945-listing-2019-no-1/documents"}}
