Arms Embargo – 2011
2011
Intermediate Implementation 
The UNSC, through Resolution 1980, extended the arms embargo imposed on Ivory Coast until 30 April 2012. Nevertheless, the resolution called for a review of the embargo should Ivory Coast make progress in its peace process.1 One of the pre-conditions for the review of the embargo was the holding of elections. Elections took place in late 2010, but because armed violence ensued following elections, the UNSC made its decision based on the lack of political and security stabilization in Ivory Coast.
