As a general rule, the Committee authorizes exemptions on a case-by-case basis. Member states may at any time submit to the Committee requests for delisting of individuals and entities inscribed on the 2048 Sanctions List. Listed individuals and entities seeking to submit a request for delisting can do so either directly to the Focal Point for Delisting or through his/her state of residence or nationality. There is no experts' panel assisting the Committee, but resolutions starting in 2015 renewing the mandate of the UN Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Guinea-Bissau (UNIOGBIS) requested the Secretary-General to submit an annual report to the Committee "on the progress made regarding the stabilization of Guinea-Bissau and the restoration of constitutional order and giving recommendations on the sanctions regime, including, but not limited to, its continuation, adjustment or suspension, and on prospective delisting, in accordance with paragraph 12 of resolution 2048 (2012);" These reports were discontinued after the conclusion of UNIOGBIS on 31 December 2020. Decisions in the Committee are reached by consensus through a five-day no-objection procedure. In emergency situations this can be for a shorter period, and in exceptional cases, the period may be extended. Members can place a hold on a proposed decision, but normally not for more than six months. An extension of up to three months can be requested based on "extraordinary circumstances." Typically at the end of the six month period, though, the pending matter shall be deemed approved unless the Committee member concerned has objected to the proposal. A hold placed on a matter by a member of the Committee will cease to have effect at the time its membership of the Committee ends. Resolution 2048 decided that the Committee should report to the Council within thirty days of the adoption of the resolution and thereafter to report "as deemed necessary" by the Committee.
