# UNSC Resolution 2804 **Domain:** International Law / Libya / Arms Embargo / Maritime Enforcement **Doc Type:** United Nations Security Council Resolution Node **Classification:** Primary Legal and Institutional Record **Maturity:** Adopted 25 November 2025 / six-month authorization / status verified 30 August 2026 **Related:** [[wiki/Multilateral Governance|Multilateral Governance]], [[wiki/International Mandate|International Mandate]], [[wiki/Enforcement Credibility|Enforcement Credibility]], [[wiki/Conflict Resolution|Conflict Resolution]] --- ## Identity **United Nations Security Council Resolution 2804 (2025), S/RES/2804 (2025),** was adopted at the Security Council's 10053rd meeting on **25 November 2025** by a vote of **13 in favour, none against and two abstentions**. It concerns implementation of the arms embargo on Libya. ## Operative Effect Acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the Council extended for a further **six months** the authorizations set out in Resolution 2780 (2025). Those authorities continue the Resolution 2292 (2016) framework under which participating Member States, acting nationally or through regional organizations, may inspect vessels on the high seas off Libya when there are reasonable grounds to believe they are violating the arms embargo. Resolution 2804 also requested a Secretary-General's implementation report within five months and kept the matter under active Council consideration. The resolution preserves a defined enforcement authority for a limited term and subjects its continuation to renewed Council action. ## Corpus Relevance The resolution is a compact example of a time-bounded international enforcement authorization. It separates the legal creation of inspection authority from the operational question of whether the authorized mechanism produces effective embargo enforcement. Its corpus relevance lies in the relationship between [[wiki/International Mandate|International Mandate]], limited authorization, implementation reporting and [[wiki/Enforcement Credibility|Enforcement Credibility]]. ## Sources / Provenance - [United Nations Digital Library — Resolution 2804 (2025)](https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/4093933?ln=en) — symbol, date, subject, meeting and 13-0-2 vote record. - [United Nations official text — S/RES/2804 (2025)](https://documents.un.org/api/symbol/access?l=en&s=S%2FRES%2F2804%282025%29&t=pdf) — one-page operative text. - [United Nations Security Council — Libya sanctions resolutions](https://main.un.org/securitycouncil/en/sanctions/1970/resolutions) — institutional chronology and six-month extension. - Current identity and status verified 30 August 2026. ## See Also [[wiki/Multilateral Governance|Multilateral Governance]] · [[wiki/International Mandate|International Mandate]] · [[wiki/Enforcement Credibility|Enforcement Credibility]] · [[wiki/Conflict Resolution|Conflict Resolution]]
