In anticipation of a <strong>for</strong>mal sanctions committee meeting to discuss recent developments<br />
in Arcadia (especially the importance of rein<strong>for</strong>cing the Newport Agreement), an<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mal group of experts will convene Saturday morning to explore new measures in<br />
response to the changed situation. <strong>The</strong> goal of this in<strong>for</strong>mal meeting is to develop<br />
guidance to in<strong>for</strong>m the drafting of the necessary follow-up resolution on the situation in<br />
Arcadia. <strong>The</strong> issues to be explored include the following:<br />
• How should the existing sanctions be adapted to reflect the changed situation on the<br />
ground?<br />
• What sanctions should remain?<br />
• What are the criteria <strong>for</strong> lifting or suspending any remaining sanctions, and when and<br />
how should this be done?<br />
• How should the humanitarian and economic effects of any remaining sanctions, as<br />
well as their affect on refugee repatriation, be monitored and addressed? (Is there a<br />
role <strong>for</strong> <strong>UN</strong>MIA here?)<br />
• If the criteria <strong>for</strong> lifting all sanctions were met, is there an ongoing role <strong>for</strong> the<br />
Council in ensuring the return to peace and stability in Arcadia?<br />
• What other measures (including positive inducements) can be employed to help<br />
solidify the political developments?<br />
