Security Council Renews Sudan Sanctions Regime, Unanimously Adopting Resolution 2791 (2025)

The Security Council today extended for another year the 1591 Sudan sanctions regime, including targeted sanctions and an arms embargo...

China’s delegate noted his delegation and other fellow Council Members have “consistently and responsibly called for addressing the misalignment of the mandates of the Sudan sanctions regime and the Panel of Experts respectively” — commending the resolution for resolving the issue.  

In 2007, however, Hamas overthrew the Palestinian Authority in the Gaza Strip and seized power of the coastal territory. 

Although the group's political leadership resides in Damascus, Hamas uses the Gaza Strip as a base for terrorist operations aimed against Israel.

UK cracks down on gold and oil networks propping up Russia’s war economy ... Twenty nine individuals and entities operating in and supporting Russia’s gold and oil sectors have been sanctioned by the UK today ... New listings include both Russian oligarchs and businesses, and third country enablers fuelling Russia’s war revenues.

Russia’s gold and oil markets have close ties to the Kremlin and serve as critical revenue streams for its illegal invasion of Ukraine. 

Gold is a significant income stream for Russia’s war effort – one of the highest by value after oil and gas, worth £12.6 billion to the Russian economy in 2021.

To date the UK has sanctioned over 1,800 individuals, companies, and groups under our Russia sanctions regime, including 129 oligarchs with a combined net worth of £145 billion at the time of the invasion.
