Acting under Chapter VII, the Security Council demanded that the junta relinquish power and to cease all attacks and violence in the country, so that humanitarian aid could be delivered to the civilian population. Sanctions were then placed on Sierra Leone military government, which included a travel ban on members of the junta and their immediate families and an oil and arms embargo. A Committee was established to manage those sanctions, suggest ways to improve their effectiveness and report periodically to the Council on the implementation of the sanctions.
