Sierra Leone

The Regulations Amending the United Nations Sierra Leone Regulations remove the prohibition on the import of rough diamonds from Sierra Leone. The United Nations Security Council decided not to renew the embargo against rough diamonds. Follow this link to view the press release by the President of the Security Council.

The United Nations Sierra Leone Regulations impose an arms embargo.

For more information, see the web site of the Sierra Leone Committee of the U.N. Security Council, which includes a list as of January 28, 1998 of individuals subject to travel restrictions. Amendments to that list are located on the Committee's Press releases.
