The NCS also decided to expedite implementation of the National Action Plan against terrorism throughout the country against all proscribed and UN designated organizations. As part of these efforts, the Federal Government issued the United Nations Security Council (Freeze & Seizure) Order 2019.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/440087-unsc-freezing-and-seizure-order-govt-issues-legal-framework-for-implementation|title=UNSC (Freezing and Seizure) Order: Govt issues legal framework for implementation|website=thenews.com.pk}}</ref> The objective of the order was to streamline the procedure for implementation of Security Council Sanctions against designated individuals and entities in Pakistan. The introduction of this new law helped to ensure strict compliance with UNSC Sanctions, especially the implementation of targeted financial sanctions against FiF and JuD. Accordingly, in March 2019, on the directives of the Federal Government, all provincial governments in Pakistan seized or took over administrative control of hundreds of establishments run by Jamaat ud Dawa (JuD) and Falah-i-Insaniat Foundation (FIF). Most of these facilities were related to wide humanitarian network of JuD and FiF, including schools, hospitals, [[Madrasa|madaris]], colleges, [[Dispensary|dispensaries]] ambulances, and others.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1467973|title=JuD, FIF facilities taken over in Punjab, Sindh, and Balochistan after listing by federal govt|first=Tahir Naseer &#124; Imtiaz Ali &#124; Syed Ali|last=Shah|date=6 March 2019|website=DAWN.COM}}</ref>
