Executing a Travel Ban: Proposed Framework

Enforcement Task Force

  • Research and implement mechanisms to apply sanctions at an individual level.
  • Compile data by cooperating with domestic government agencies, international organizations, intelligence agencies, and foreign governments.
  • Establish a system to track compliance and enforcement of the travel ban.
  • Establish and operate a comprehensive screening system that could include:
    • Enhanced vetting
    • Automated visa approval processes

Watchlist Database

  • Create a verified watchlist database of individuals implicated or associated with the execution of Israel’s genocidal policies.
  • Align to Malaysia’s Immigration Act 1959/63 (8-3-K) regarding “undesirable immigrants”.
  • Collaborate and consolidate data with other known lists managed and updated by individuals or organizations globally.

Digital arrival cards/e-VOA provides the opportunity to collect data at a granular level for future use when a concrete policy on genocide/war criminals emerge.
