In the resolution it is however determined that the situation in Liberia still constitutes a threat and the Security Council decides to renew the measures on arms and travel (imposed by resolution 1521 (2003)) and the measures on diamonds and timber (imposed by resolution 1521 (2003)).
Security Council resolution 788 (1992), adopted in November 1992, imposed a general and complete arms embargo on Liberia; resolution 985 (1995) established a Committee to monitor its implementation.
The Council cited Liberia's active support of rebel groups which are having a destabilizing effect on West Africa and the non-compliance of resolution 1343 (2001) as reasons for the extension of the sanctions.

 UN Security Council Resolution 1441 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Under furious debate was whether a further Security Council resolution (the so-called "second resolution") was necessary to authorize war, or whether 1441 and preceding resolutions sufficed to legitimize military enforcement of the UN's disarmament aims.
Of the permanent, veto-holding members of the Security Council, France, Russia, and the People's Republic of China wished the inspection period to be extended, and for no military action to go ahead without a further UN resolution.
On the other hand, the USA and Britain, while admitting that such a resolution was diplomatically desirable, insisted that Iraq had now been given enough time (noting also the time since the first disarmament resolutions of 1991) to disarm or provide evidence thereof, and that war was legitimized by 1441 and previous UN resolutions.

 MIFTAH--US Vetoes Cast Against UN Security Council Resolutions on Palestine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-13)

The resolution draft condemned the Israeli non-compliance with resolutions 508 and 509, urged the parties to comply with the Hague Convention of 1907, and restated the Security Council's demands of Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon.
In the resolution, the Security Council condemned all acts of terror, extrajudiciary executions, excessive use of force and destruction of properties, and demanded an end of all acts of violence, destruction and provocation.

 AlterNet: A Double-Faced Tirade On Iraq
For example, in 1975, the UN Security Council passed a series of resolutions demanding that Morocco withdraw its occupation forces from the country of Western Sahara and that Indonesia withdraw its occupation forces from East Timor.
According to Articles 41 and 42 of the UN Charter, no member state has the right to enforce any resolution militarily unless the Security Council determines that there has been a material breach of its resolution, decides that all nonmilitary means of enforcement have been exhausted and specifically authorizes the use of military force.
This is what the Security Council did in November 1990 with Resolution 678 in response to Iraq's occupation of Kuwait, which violated a series of resolutions demanding their withdrawal that passed that August.

UN Security Council Resolution 687 says that when Iraq complies with weapons inspectors the economic sanctions 'shall have no further force or effect.' Resolution 687 also speaks of 'establishing in the Middle East a zone free from weapons of mass destruction' -- which also means Israel's 200-plus nuclear weapons."

These include resolutions 262 and 267 demandingt that Israel rescind its annexation of greater East Jerusalem, as well as the more than a dozen other resolutions demanding Israel cease its violations of the Fourth Geneva Convention, such as deportations, demolitions of homes, collective punishment and seizure of private property.
Unlike some of the hypocritical and mean-spirited anti-Israel resolutions passed by the UN General Assembly, such as the now-rescinded 1975 resolution equating Zionism and racism, these Security Council resolutions challenging Israeli policies have been well-grounded in international law.
As is normally the case when it is determined that governments are violating all or part of UN resolutions, any decision about enforcement is a matter for the Security Council as a whole - not for any one member of the Council.
