Arms Embargo – 1993

1993

Full Implementation Full implementation

“A U.N.-mandated oil embargo against Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge guerrillas took effect Friday, but officials were doubtful it would be effective. The embargo, approved by the Security Council on Nov. 30, is intended to pressure the Khmer Rouge to stop undermining U.N. efforts to bring peace to Cambodia after 13 years of civil war. A ban on log exports, imposed by Cambodian leaders to save their nation’s forests from depletion, also went into effect.”1 This embargo against Khmer guerrillas, however, was different from the armed embargo which went into effect immediately after the signing of the peace agreement in Paris.
