The UN Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 2827 (2026) extending for one year the sanctions regime targeting non-State armed groups and individuals in the Central African Republic, originally established under resolution 2127 (2013). The measures, including an arms embargo, travel ban, and asset freezes, are extended until 31 July 2027, while the mandate of the Panel of Experts supporting the 2745 Sanctions Committee is extended until 31 August 2027, with updated Panel reporting deadlines of 31 January 2027 (midterm) and 15 June 2027 (final). France and China both welcomed the resolution while noting continued fragility in border regions, and the Central African Republic's representative urged strict compliance with the sanctions regime, emphasizing scrutiny of the broader financing networks sustaining armed groups rather than the groups alone.
