UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council on Tuesday established a sanctions regime for South Sudan but stopped short of imposing worldwide travel bans and asset freezes on officials in the conflict-torn country or an arms embargo.
The unanimously adopted resolution, drafted by the United States, threatens to blacklist anyone undermining Security (SECURITY.8)or interfering with the peace process after March 5 and April 1 deadlines set by the regional East African IGAD bloc.
