United Nations Security Council resolution 1630, adopted unanimously on 14 October 2005, after recalling previous resolutions on the situation in Somalia, particularly resolutions 733 (1992), 1519 (2003), 1558 (2004) and 1587 (2005), the council re-established a group to monitor the arms embargo against the country for a further six months and condemned the increase in flow of weapons to the country in violation of the embargo. [1]

Contents

Less than a day after the condemnation from the security council, illicit weapons continued to flow into Somalia. [2]

Observations

The Security council offered its support of the Somali reconciliation process, including the ongoing Somali National Reconciliation Conference. It condemned the illegal flow of weapons into and through Somalia in violation of the arms embargo, calling for improvements to be made to the monitoring of the embargo and urging states to enforce the restrictions.

Acts

Acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the council stressed that all countries should comply with the embargo. The Secretary-General Kofi Annan was asked to re-establish a monitoring group to monitor the implementation of the arms embargo against Somalia, update lists on those violating the sanctions, to co-operate with a Committee established in Resolution 751 (1992) and make recommendations. The committee was also asked to make recommendations on ways of improving the effectiveness of the embargo. [3]

Finally, the committee was requested to consider a visit to Somalia to demonstrate the council's determination to enforce the arms embargo.
