08.10.2026 – Security Council unanimously adopts Resolution 2830 (2026) and renews the sanctions regime on Sudan

Unanimously adopting resolution 2830 (2026), the Council — acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations — also reaffirmed and extended the mandate of the Panel of Experts assisting the Committee in monitoring implementation of these measures until 11. This extension, also very brief, marked 21 years since the regime was first established by Security Council resolution 1591 (2005), which created the Sanctions Committee responsible for overseeing the sanctions measures imposed by the Council. These measures include an arms embargo on actors operating in Darfur, a travel ban on certain individuals, and an asset freeze on certain individuals and entities. A five-member Panel of Experts was also established to assist in monitoring and examining the effectiveness of implementing such measures. At its latest briefing on Sudan, the Council heard that the escalating war in the country, now in its fourth year, has worsened one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises and threatens to lead to even more widespread atrocities. During the meeting, members clashed over the sanctions — some strongly opposed them, while others argued with equal passion that they should be further strengthened and expanded.
