the same time avoiding any undue restrictions on the legitimate use of those
materials,

subsequent reviews,

through appropriate channels and arrangements, and consistent with international
and domestic law, on individuals and entities implicated in terrorist activities, in
particular their supply of weapons and sources of material support, and on the
ongoing international counter- terrorism cooperation including among special
services, security agencies and law enforcement organizations and criminal justice
authorities,
Acknowledging the important contribution of relevant Council-mandated arms
embargoes in helping to eliminate the supply of small arms and light weapons to
terrorists, and noting the need to improve information sharing on possible arms
embargo violations between groups of experts, peacekeeping missions within their
mandates and other relevant United Nations entities,
Reaffirming its resolution 1373 (2001) and in particular its decisions that all
States shall prevent and suppress the financing of terrorist acts and refrain from
