5. SOUNDBITE (French) Nathalie Broadhurst, Chargé d'Affaires a.i., Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, France:
“This very short text removes any ambiguity. It abrogates the territorial arms embargo imposed on the Central African Republic in 2013. It imposes restrictive measures on armed groups and individuals associated with them who pose a threat to the country's territorial integrity and undermine state authority. This responds to the Central African Republic's call to combat these armed groups and associated individuals by preventing them from acquiring arms and related equipment of all types. It concerns the stability of the Central African Republic and the entire region.”
