In May 2000 Security Council resolution 1298 established an embargo on the sale or supply of arms and related materiel of all types, including weapons and ammunition, military vehicles and equipment, paramilitary equipment and spare parts for the aforementioned to Eritrea and Ethiopia.

The resolution also prohibited technical assistance or training related to the provision, manufacture, maintenance or use of these items.
