Resolution Condemning an inflow of weapons that continued to threaten peace and security in Somalia, the Security Council this morning extended the mandate of the Group it established in 2004 to monitor the arms embargo on that country for an additional six months. Through the unanimous adoption of resolution 1766 2007 , the Council requested the expert Group to continue to investigate, in coordination with relevant international agencies, violations of the weapons ban, means of transport for illicit arms and activities that generate revenues to fund weapons purchases. It also requested the Group to work closely with the Council committee on the embargo to develop recommendations for additional measures to improve compliance and to identify ways in which States in the region could be assisted to facilitate implementation of the sanctions regime. The arms embargo was imposed on Somalia in 1992, a year after President Muhammad Siad Barre s regime was toppled. The country has had no functioning national Government since then and has been wracked by factional fighting. ref cite news url http www.un.org News Press docs 2007 sc9083.doc.htm title SECURITY COUNCIL EXTENDS MANDATE OF GROUP MONITORING SOMALIA ARMS EMBARGO FOR SIX MONTHS, UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTING RESOLUTION 1766 2007 date July 23, 2007 publisher United Nations ref See also List of United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1701 to 1800 2006 2008 References reflist External links UNSCR 2007 Category 2007 United Nations Security Council resolutions Category United Nations Security Council resolutions concerning Somalia fa nl Resolutie 1766 Veiligheidsraad Verenigde Naties ... more details
