Title   Report of the Group of Experts on DR Congo
Author UN Security Council S/2005/436
Edition PDF
Published New Yrok: UN Security Council
Year 2005-07-26
Pages 28
Abstract Weapons and munitions have continued to flow into the Great Lakes Region and to those forces known to flagrantly abuse human rights in the eastern DRC despite the peace agreements in 2002 between warring groups of the DRC and between the governments of DRC, Rwanda and Uganda. The UN Security Council imposed a mandatory arms embargo on the provinces of North and South Kivu and the Ituri region of the eastern DRC, and also on groups not party to the peace agreement in the DRC, on 28 July 2003. This embargo was considerably strengthened and applied to the whole of the DRC, with certain exceptions, on 18 April 2005. Yet, before and after the imposition of the UN embargo, reports of arms and related deliveries continued.
