On January 22, 2015, acting under chapter VII of the UN Charter, the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution renewing the sanctions regime and imposing additional measures against the Central African Republic (CAR). The resolution renewed the measures imposed by resolutions 2127 (2013) and 2134 (2014) and extended a travel ban and asset freeze against designated individuals “through 29 January 2016.” The Council defined designated individuals as those determined by the Central African Republic Sanctions Committee, established by resolution 2127 in 2013, to be “engaging in or providing support for acts that undermine the peace, stability or security of the CAR, including acts that threaten or violate transitional agreements, or that threaten or impede the political transition process, including a transition toward free and fair democratic elections, or that fuel violence.”
