The U.N. Security Council has approved an arms embargo and other tough sanctions against Eritrea for supplying weapons to opponents of the Somali government and refusing to resolve a border dispute with neighboring Djibouti.

The U.N.'s most powerful body adopted a resolution Wednesday imposing the measures by a vote of 13-1, with Libya voting "no" and China abstaining.

The resolution bans the import and export of weapons to Eritrea and calls on U.N. member states to inspect all suspect air and sea cargo between the Red Sea nation and Somalia.

The resolution also imposes a travel ban on individuals _ including Eritrea's political and military leadership _ who violate the arms embargo and obstruct a border settlement with Djibouti.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) _ The U.N. Security Council was expected to approve an arms embargo and other tough sanctions against Eritrea for supplying arms to opponents of the Somali government and refusing to resolve a border dispute with neighboring Djibouti.

The U.N.'s most powerful body was likely to approve the sanctions resolution on Wednesday, diplomats said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

It would ban the import and export of weapons to Eritrea and call on U.N. member states to inspect all suspect air and sea cargo between the Red Sea nation and Somalia.

The draft resolution would also impose a travel ban on individuals _ including Eritrea's political and military leadership _ who violate the arms embargo, obstruct a border settlement with Djibouti, or "perpetrate acts of violence or terrorist acts against other states or their citizens in the region." The financial assets of these individuals as well as government and private companies responsible for similar violations would be frozen.

The Security Council committee monitoring sanctions against Somalia would designate the individuals and companies subject to the new sanctions against Eritrea.

Eritrea earlier this month called the proposed resolution "politically motivated," saying it was based on "unfounded accusations."

The African Union asked the Security Council to impose sanctions on Eritrea for providing support to armed groups trying to destabilize Somalia.

A U.N. panel monitoring an arms embargo against Somalia has accused Eritrea of secretly shipping large quantities of arms, including missiles and explosives, to Islamic insurgents trying to overthrow the country's Western-backed transitional government.
