Security Council
Sudan and South Sudan - Security Council, 9503rd meeting
Sudan requests Security Council to impose arms embargo on rebel forces; Sanctions committee chair briefs members on latest developments.
Sudan’s representative called on the Security Council today to impose an arms and material transport embargo against rebel forces, invaders and mercenaries, and to lift sanctions on the Government forces, as the 15 member organ received an update from its sanctions committee for that country.
Al-Harith Idriss Al-Harith Mohamed (Sudan) recalled that the Council arms embargo against his country — dealing with all non-Government entities and individuals, specifically the Janjaweed militias in north, south and east Darfur — was extended to all parties related to the ceasefire agreement and in conflict. The embargo further imposed a travel ban and assets freeze for certain individuals.
