U.N. Backs Tougher Angola Sanctions

By EDITH M. LEDERER / Associated Press Writer

UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- In an effort to halt renewed fighting in Angola, the
U.N. Security Council has backed a report calling for tougher measures to stop the
flow of arms to UNITA rebels.

The council on Thursday accused the rebels of being primarily responsible for
sabotaging a 1994 peace accord that ended 20 years of civil war. UNITA refused
to disarm and hand over land under its control to the government as called for in
the peace accords.

***Last week, the council agreed to consider restricting UNITA's telecommunications
links, and to reinforce other sanctions that include a ban on diamond exports.
UNITA has raised an estimated $3.7 billion through diamond sales, according to
the human rights group Global Witness. ***

In a report released Tuesday, the council's committee on sanctions against Angola
proposed enlisting banks and diamond traders to track rebel funds and hire private
companies and individuals to follow the transfer of military equipment to the
rebels.

The committee, headed by Canada's U.N. Ambassador Robert Fowler, also urged
that any violation of sanctions be made a crime. This would make it possible to
prosecute those who provide military or logistical support to the rebels.

After discussing the report Thursday, the council issued a statement welcoming the
proposals and pledging support for efforts to implement sanctions against
UNITA.

Fowler said the committee is trying to determine what measures to impose to limit
UNITA's ability to communicate with one another and the outside world.

The Security Council must soon decide whether to extend the mandate of its
peacekeeping force, which was sent to the southwest African nation to oversee
implementation of the 1994 accord. The mandate expires Feb. 26.

The peace agreement collapsed in December when government forces tried and
failed to take UNITA-controlled territory by force.

Secretary-General Kofi Annan recommended pulling out the U.N. mission after
two U.N.-chartered C-130 cargo planes crashed Dec. 26 and Jan. 2 as fighting
intensified between rebels and government troops. A total of 23 people were on
board.

The Angolan government has repeatedly said it wants the 1,000-strong U.N.
Observer Mission to leave because it failed to prevent a resumption of fighting.
But the Security Council wants to maintain a small political and military presence
in Angola to monitor developments.
