Overview
UN Sanctions
The UN created the Central African Republic Committee and imposed sanctions on the Central African Republic (CAR) in 2013, in response to the continuing deterioration of the security situation in the country, by UN Security Council Resolution 2127.
The sanctions comprised an arms embargo, which was supplemented on 28 January 2014 by targeted asset freezes and travel bans against people undermining the peace and stability of the CAR or violating the arms embargo.
