Executive Order 13224
The December 13th circular by the Hong Kong Securites and Futures Commission notified firms of three changes: changes to the US Executive Order 13224 sanctions lists, changes to UN Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee sanctions listings, and the repeal of the asset-freezing part of the UN Liberian sanctions program. It also notes that the arms embargo still applies to Liberia.

The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) issued a circular to its member firms alerting them to changes in the anti-terror sanctions lists issued by the United Nations and under US Executive Order 13224.

Hong Kong SFC Circular (English)
HK SFC issues circulars to its member firms from time to time to apprise them of updates either to US Executive Order 13224 (the one signed right after 9/11 blocking terorist property) and/or the UN Security Council's Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee. This month, both were updated – and the UN one is pretty big (18 page PDF).
