Council decides to cancel diamond sanctions against Côte d'Ivoire

On April 29, 2014, the Security Council passed a resolution on April 29, deciding to cancel the diamond sanctions against Côte d'Ivoire. In another resolution adopted, the Council decided to extend the mandate of the United Nations Mission in Western Sahara for one year.

The Security Council29 resolution on the situation in Côte d’Ivoire stated that, in accordance with the country’s progress in adopting the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme and improving the governance of the diamond industry, the Council decided to end measures to prevent the import of rough diamonds from Côte d’Ivoire, but continued to be suspected of undermining peace in Côte d’Ivoire. Individuals in the process implement financial and travel restrictions and extend the arms embargo imposed on the country until the end of April next year. The resolution also extended the term of office of the United Nations expert group responsible for overseeing sanctions.

The resolution welcomes the comprehensive progress made by Côte d'Ivoire in restoring security, peace and stability, promotes the cooperation of all stakeholders across the country, consolidates the progress made so far, eliminates the root causes of tensions and conflicts, and encourages the Government and the opposition to work actively together. Political reconciliation and electoral reforms ensure continued open and transparent political space.

In September 2002, an attempted coup d’état and a civil war broke out in Côte d’Ivoire, and the former opposition armed forces and government forces formed a situation of separation between the North and the South. The Council adopted a resolution in November 2004 to decide on an arms embargo against Côte d’Ivoire and subsequently added sanctions on the ban on diamond exports and on a number of individuals.

On the 29th, the Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution on the question of Western Sahara and decided to extend the mandate of the United Nations Mission in Western Sahara to 30 April 2015. The resolution reaffirms that all parties must fully comply with the military agreements reached with the Western Sahara Mission on the ceasefire and strive to end the current stalemate and make progress in pursuing a political settlement. The resolution emphasizes that only the progress of the negotiations can comprehensively improve the living conditions of the people of Western Sahara.

In April 1991, the Security Council adopted a resolution deciding to establish a United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara to oversee the ceasefire between Morocco and the Western Sahara People’s Liberation Front and to organize a referendum in Western Sahara in order to allow the people of Western Sahara to decide on their own. Under the auspices of the United Nations, the Moroccan and Western Saharan People’s Liberation Front has resumed the negotiation process since 2007. There have been many rounds of negotiations, but no significant progress has been made.
