UN Security Council rolls over Sudan 1591 sanctions regime for one month to 9 October 2026
On 11 September 2026 the UN Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2828 (2026), extending the 1591 Sudan sanctions regime (targeted asset freezes, travel bans and an arms embargo) for one month, keeping the Panel of Experts mandate in place while members continue negotiations on possible expansion.
The desk brief
On 11 September 2026 the UN Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2828 (2026), extending the 1591 Sudan sanctions regime (targeted asset freezes, travel bans and an arms embargo) for one month, keeping the Panel of Experts mandate in place while members continue negotiations on possible expansion.
A one-month technical rollover preserves existing targeted sanctions and an arms embargo, maintaining elevated risk premia and constraining Sudan’s ability to access external financing and cross-border trade. Markets and counterparties will likely keep existing risk assessments and due-diligence limits in place until the Council either broadens or renews the regime for a longer period.
Council deadline and potential vote to extend or expand the regime by 9 October 2026.
