On 23 December of 2009 resolution 1907 was adopted imposing sanctions on Eritrea for allegedly supporting "al-shabab" in Somalia, which was an outright lie. On 5 December 2011 resolution 2023 was adopted reinforcing the previous sanctions. No real evidence was ever presented. As the WikiLeaks cables have shown, the sanctions were engineered by the Unite States of America and ethiopa who is occupying Eritrean territories with the tacit approval and support of the US. The sanctions are a grave miscarriage of justice.
