<p>The UK welcomes the 25 January communiqué by the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Council of Ministers on the reports of violations of the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement. This demands that all parties who have violated the Agreement submit their own reports to the Ceasefire and Transitional Security Monitoring Mechanism within one month, including the names of responsible individuals; and affirms IGAD's willingness to take appropriate action in the case of non-compliance.</p><p>We are working with IGAD to ensure that the consequences for spoilers of the peace process are clearly set out and rigorously enforced. The UK played a leading role in securing additional EU sanctions, announced on 2 February, to demonstrate that those who choose to subvert the peace process or violate any agreements will be held to account. We strongly support the US arms embargo on South Sudan, also announced on 2 February, and continue to lobby for a UN arms embargo to address the flow of arms that is enabling the conflict.</p> |
