UN Security Council Extends Darfur Sanctions and Arms Embargo by One Month

The UN Security Council has approved a one-month technical extension for targeted sanctions and the arms embargo in Sudan's Darfur region, reaffirming the 2005 sanctions regime. This decision also prolongs the mandate of the Panel of Experts supporting the 1591 Sanctions Committee. The U.S. advocated for broader reforms, including extending the arms embargo nationwide across Sudan and enhancing the expert panel's capabilities.
