The UN Security Council has unanimously voted in favor of a resolution condemning the illegal export of Libyan crude oil. It has also imposed sanctions on vessels carrying illicit oil shipments. The text also calls on countries to prohibit ships carrying illegal Libyan oil cargo from entering their ports and to return oil found on seized vessels to Libya. The Security Council resolution authorizes UN member states to inspect any vessel suspected of carrying Libyan oil illegally, in coordination with Libya and the ship's flag state.
