Description
Resolution 1572 brought sanctions against Ivory Coast, a West African country split by civil war. Fighting between the government and northern rebels had stalled a peace deal. The Security Council voted to squeeze both sides with trade limits until they complied.
Its main tool is an arms embargo, blocking weapons sales to either camp, backed by the threat of asset freezes and travel bans on named spoilers. A committee and expert checks were meant to track violations. The text shows the Council's middle path in a civil war: pressure first, without sending troops.
