In response to the use of force against civilians in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya in 2011 by Colonel Gaddafi’s government, the UN imposed sanctions on Libya, consisting of an arms embargo, asset freezes, and travel bans. Currently, the 1970 sanctions regime includes an arms embargo on Libya, targeted asset freezes and travel bans, and measures in relation to attempts to export petroleum from Libya illicitly. The EU, UK, and US implement UN and autonomous sanctions on Libya.
