18 Mar 2010: Institutionalising the AU Sanctions
In February 2010, the African Union (AU) Peace and Security Council (PSC) imposed sanctions on Niger following the military coup that overthrew President Mamadou Tandja. The sanctions included the suspension of Niger`s membership in keeping with the AU`s recent commitment made at its last Summit, in February 2010. The PSC Protocol does not define the term “sanctions” and it does not define the form of sanctions that could be imposed in different scenarios. However, the Lóme Declaration on the Unconstitutional Change of Government of 2000 list a potential range of sanctions from the suspension of membership; interruption of economic relations and communications and targeted flight restrictions on a political or military leadership.
