Arms Embargo – 2014

In April 2014, Security Council Resolution 2153 extended the embargo for one year. “It lifted the requirement to notify the sanction committee in advance about the supply of non-lethal equipment to the Ivorian security forces. It retained the required advance approval by the sanction committee for the supply of most types of weapons as clarified in a new list annexed to the resolution.” Supplies of arms and related lethal weapons to the Ivorian armed forces for use in the Security Sector Reform process was allowed, per Resolution 2045 (2012).¹
