France did not support Djibouti's request for a United Nation Security Council resolution, France's ambassador to Djibouti Dominique Decherf opted instead for a regional resolution of the conflict involving the African Union or the Arab League.[22] However, the United States offered its full support to Djibouti and backed a resolution condemning firmly Eritrea's aggression.[23] On December 23, 2009 the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1907 was adopted, it imposed arms embargo on the country, a travel ban on its leaders, and it froze the assets of some of the country's political and military officials. The United Nations Security Council called on both sides to exercise maximum restraint and re-establish dialogue.[24][25]
