<p>Sanctions have helped improve the situation in Cote d'Ivoire by limiting destabilising
factors through restrictions on the sale, supply and transfer of arms and by targeting
those who constitute a threat to peace and national reconciliation with asset freeze
and travel ban measures. The sanctions remain under regular review and were revised
by the UN in April 2014 following a UN Group of Experts report. The UK government
continues to closely monitor the situation and work with partners to support reform
and encourage progress by the government of Côte d'Ivoire, particularly ahead of elections
planned for October 2015.</p>
