Mr. Anatolio Ndong Mba, is Chair of 2048 Sanctions Committee and Permanent Representative of Equatorial Guinea to the UN. His delegation will meet with top Bissau-Guinean officials, political parties, civil society organizations, and international partners.
Following the coup d'état of April 2012, the United Nations Security Council took in May, sanctions against 11 high-ranking Bissau-Guinean army officials involved in this coup.
The Sanctions Committee was established by the Security Council on 19 July 2012 pursuant to resolution 2048 (2012) concerning Guinea-Bissau. The Committee is a subsidiary organ of the Security Council and consists of all the members of the Council.
The Committee is mandated, among others, to:
-monitor implementation of the measures imposed;
-designate those individuals who meet the listing criteria as contained in the relevant resolution 2048 (2012)
-consider and decide upon requests for exemptions from the sanctions measures;
-report to the Security Council as deemed necessary by the Committee.
The latest change to the list was done in December 2017: https://www.un.org/press/en/2017/sc13133.doc.htm
