The United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution (UNSCR) 2206 (2015), in view of its grave alarm and concern regarding the conflict between the Government of the Republic of South Sudan and opposition forces since December 2013, its concern over the resulting great human suffering and its strong condemnation of past and ongoing human rights violations and abuses and violations of international humanitarian law, as well as over the large-scale displacement of persons and the deepening humanitarian crisis. The Security Council stressed the responsibility borne by all parties to the conflict for the suffering of the people of South Sudan. It also determined that the situation in South Sudan constitutes a threat to international peace and security in the region.

The EU decided restrictive measures in the form of arms embargo, travel restrictions and asset freezes.
