UN extends Darfur arms embargo, rejects wider Sudan sanctions
Original: UN extends Darfur arms embargo, blocks broader Sudan sanctions proposal
The United Nations Security Council has extended the arms embargo on Darfur while blocking a proposal for broader sanctions on Sudan. The move keeps existing restrictions on weapons flowing into the conflict-hit region in place, but a push to widen punitive measures against parties to Sudan's war failed to win Council approval. The decision comes as fighting continues to drive humanitarian crisis across the country.
Why now: Sudan's ongoing war and the Security Council's split over how to respond keep the country at the centre of international diplomacy.
