Overview
On 23 December 2009 the United Nations Security Council, concerned about findings that Eritrea had provided support to armed groups undermining peace and reconciliation in Somalia and that it had not withdrawn its forces following clashes with Djibouti in June 2008, adopted UNSCR 1907 (2009) which imposed an arms embargo on Eritrea, in addition to travel restrictions on and a freeze on the assets of the political and military leaders of Eritrea.
On 26 July 2010, the EU adopted Council Regulation (EU) No 667/2010 which implemented the measures in UNSCR 1907 (2009).
To date, no targets have been designated by the relevant UN Sanctions Committee.
