Arms Embargo – 2012

2012

Full Implementation Full implementation

The UNSC, through Resolution 2045, replaced the arms embargo imposed on Ivory Coast in 2004 and allowed non-lethal law enforcement equipment to be imported for the purpose of maintaining public order, as well as supplies of arms and related lethal weapons to the Ivorian armed forces for use in the Security Sector Reform process.1 As such, the arms embargo in place was finally lifted in April of 2012.
