United Nations Security Council resolution 1630, adopted unanimously on 14 October 2005, after recalling previous resolutions on the situation in Somalia, particularly resolutions 733 (1992), 1519 (2003), 1558 (2004) and 1587 (2005), the council re-established a group to monitor the arms embargo against the country for a further six months and condemned the increase in flow of weapons to the country in violation of the embargo.[1]

Less than a day after the condemnation from the security council, illicit weapons continued to flow into Somalia.[2]
