UNITED NATIONS – The UN Security Council unanimously approved a resolution Tuesday paving the way for sanctions against those in Mali who obstruct a 2015 peace agreement by continuing attacks or delaying its implementation.
The French-sponsored resolution also authorizes sanctions against those who obstruct the delivery of humanitarian aid and plan or commit acts that violate international human rights or humanitarian law.
It establishes a sanctions committee comprising all 15 council members to designate the individuals and entities that should be put on the sanctions blacklist.
