Sudan: Arms embargo delayed
The Security Council postponed the decision to broaden the arms embargo imposed on Darfur to include all of Sudan, and agreed to extend the sanctions regime by one month until October 9 to allow for further negotiations. Resolution 2828, proposed by the United States, followed negotiations that revealed differences among members regarding the geographical scope of the embargo. Washington called for expanding it to cover all parties involved in the conflict, while Russia, China, Pakistan, and several African countries insisted on keeping the sanctions limited to Darfur only. The extension provides the Council with additional time to reach consensus before re-examining the issue next month.
