Supplemental Information:

• Munir Al Qubaysi was removed from the UN Security Council’s 1518 Sanctions List (Iraq) on December 9, 2025, which precipitated his removal from the UK list on December 10, 2025.
• He was originally listed by the UN on April 26, 2004, under the reference number IQi.074.
• The UN listing linked him to the entity Al-Huda State Company for Religious Tourism (Entity reference IQe.204).
• Al-Huda State Company for Religious Tourism was identified as a commercial front for the Iraqi Intelligence Service under the former regime, allegedly used to skim funds from tourism packages for Iranian pilgrims.
• He has been designated under various aliases including Munir Awad and Munir Mamduh Awad.
• He remains listed on the US OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list under the program IRAQ2 as of the latest available search data, with the same identifying details (POB: Heet, Iraq; DOB: 1966).

Note: I do not have a prompt yet to reformat UN designations. Given the inconsistency of the format (note how the “a.k.a.” after “Low quality” isn’t bolded like the one after “Good quality”), I may not.
