Summary Sanction imposed on South Sudan in the hope that it will press rivals leaders into ending a conflict
UNITED NATIONS: (AP) - The U.N. Security Council has unanimously adopted a resolution setting up a system to impose sanctions on South Sudan in the hope that it will press rivals leaders into ending a conflict that has killed tens of thousands.
The resolution drafted by the United States says an arms embargo is possible if the warring sides can t stick to a peace deal.
The resolution doesn t explicitly name South Sudan President Salva Kiir or rebel leader Riek Machar as possible targets for sanctions that would include an asset freeze and travel ban.
