SUBJECT: UN/SANCTIONS: UNSCR 1676 RENEWS SOMALIA MONITORING 
GROUP'S MANDATE FOR SIX MONTHS 
 
Classified By: Counselor Brian H. Hook, For Reasons 1.4 (B and D) 
 
1. (U) SUMMARY: On 10 May 2006 the UN Security Council 
unanimously adopted UNSC Resolution 1676, renewing the 
mandate of the Somalia Monitoring Group (MG) for an 
additional six months.  In closed consultations immediately 
beforehand, Qatar PermRep Ambassador Nasser, Chairman of the 
Somalia Sanctions Committee established pursuant to UNSCR 751 
(1992), briefed Council members on recent Committee 
discussions. 
 
2. (C) During consultations Council members condemned arms 
embargo violations committed by the countries named in the 
final report.  Delegations unanimously stressed that Member 
States - particularly those in the region - must fulfill 
their obligations to enforce the embargo and hold violators 
accountable. 
 
3. (C) Although member remarks were similar to past meetings 
convened to renew the MG mandate, delegations showed an 
increased interest in targeted sanctions, and, to a lesser 
degree, an integrated arms embargo.  Some delegations also 
expressed support for a partial exemption of the existing 
arms embargo to strengthen the TFG.  END SUMMARY. 
 
--------------------------------------------- ----- 
Council Reacts to Monitoring Group Proposals on Targeted 
Sanctions and an Integrated Arms Embargo Proposal 
--------------------------------------------- ----- 
 
4. (C) The MG final report again recommended that the 
Security Council implement an "integrated arms embargo," 
which would add two elements to the existing arms embargo 
regime: (1) "a trade embargo on exports of charcoal 
originating in Somalia," and (2) "a ban on foreign vessels 
fishing in Somali waters and a trade embargo on the export of 
fish caught in Somali waters."  The MG believes that such 
action would enhance the arms embargo by denying sources of 
revenue used by various factions to buy weapons.  The MG also 
recommended that the Security Council consider targeted 
sanctions in the form of a travel ban and assets freeze 
against individuals identified in the annex to the final 
report. 
 
5. (C) In reaction to the report, delegations predictably 
deplored the worsening situation in Somalia, condemned 
violations of the arms embargo, and called on violators to be 
held accountable.  But unlike prior discussions that preceded 
renewal of the MG mandate, delegations are now asking whether 
it is time to impose targeted sanctions against individuals 
or, as a smaller number of countries believe, impose an 
integrated arms embargo. 
 
6. (C) The UK argued that the sanctions committee should 
"actively pursue" the recommendations made by the MG.  They 
had hoped the resolution would contain a deadline for the 
committee to discuss additional sanctions.  The Russians 
showed support for targeted sanctions, but had little 
enthusiasm for an integrated arms embargo.  France expressed 
support for an integrated arms embargo. 
 
7. (C) China supports exempting the TFG from the arms embargo 
for political capacity-building. Qatar said that all 
proposals should be on the table, and observed that granting 
a partial exemption to the arms embargo does not mean an end 
to the arms embargo. (NOTE: Greece and UK are on record in 
the sanctions committee last week supporting a partial 
exemption at the appropriate time, and the UK has informed us 
that France is also interested. END NOTE.) 
 
8. (C) Ambassador Sanders made the following points: 
 
-- We welcome the latest report of the Somalia Monitoring 
Group and thank them for their hard work. 
 
-- The United States continues to support the establishment 
of a functioning central government in Somalia capable of 
bringing the country out of civil conflict.  We also believe 
that every effort must be made to prevent Somalia from 
serving as a base of operations for terrorist organizations. 
 
-- We urge Somali leaders to continue efforts towards 
re-establishing effective governance through a process of 
 
USUN NEW Y 00000972  002 OF 003 
 
 
peace and reconciliation and to disavow the use of violence. 
 
 
-- We commend the resolution's support for the Special 
Representative of the Secretary General to help end the civil 
conflict.  We also appreciate the work of the African Union 
and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development to support 
the Transitional Federal Institutions. 
 
-- We look forward to adopting the resolution to extend the 
Monitoring Group's mandate for another six months.  And we 
thank Qatar for its leadership in the Sanctions Committee. 
 
9. (U) Begin text of Security Council Resolution 1676 
 
The Security Council, 
 
Reaffirming its previous resolutions and the statements of 
its President concerning the situation in Somalia, in 
particular resolution 733 (1992) of 23 January 1992, which 
established an embargo on all delivery of weapons and 
military equipment to Somalia (hereinafter referred to as the 
"arms embargo'), resolution 1519 (2003) of 16 December 2003, 
resolution 1558 (2004) of 17 August 2004, resolution 1587

observations and recommendations contained therein, 
 
Condemning the significant increase in the flow of weapons

Concerned about the increasing incidents of piracy and armed 
robbery against ships in waters off the coast of Somalia, and 
its impact on security in Somalia, 
 
Reiterating its insistence that all Member States, in

action in contravention of the arms embargo and should take 
all necessary steps to hold violators accountable,

monitoring of the arms embargo in Somalia through persistent 
and vigilant investigation into the violations, bearing in 
mind that strict enforcement of the arms embargo will improve 
the overall security situation in Somalia.

threat to international peace and security in the region,
