The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) urged the United Nations to delay the coming into force of the restrictions against Liberia.[2] The sanctions came into effect in May 2001, after the Liberian government maintained contacts with rebels in Sierra Leone in violation of Security Council demands.[3]
