Sanctions for Zimbabwe
ANCHOR:
The European Union sought to step up pressure on Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe by widening sanctions to target more officials and companies linked to his government. Mugabe's reign of power since 1980 has seen the country's economy collapse. Inflation is at least 2 million percent with crippling food prices and an 80 percent rate of unemployment, Mugabe insists the opposition accept his landslide victory from last month.
STORY:
Diplomats said ministers would look at how the sanctions could be implemented to find the balance between taking a tough line on Mugabe and supporting talks.
Arriving for an EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels, French foreign affairs minister said Tsvangirai should be prime minister.
[Bernard Koucher, EU Foreign Minister]:
''Listen, yesterday, they signed, Zimbabwe signed the beginning of the process to have a substantive agreement. So it's better than nothing and we hope, I strongly hope and our friends from the European Union hope that Mr. Tsvangirai will be the prime minister. He got 47% of the votes in the second round. No one is better than him to become the prime minister''.
The EU has refused to recognise Mugabe's re-election in a June 27 run-off in which he was the only candidate. It has called for a new election as soon as possible after a short transition from Mugabe's rule.
Tsvangirai boycotted the run-off because of attacks on his supporters despite winning the first round vote.
Britain's foreign secretary said the proposed new sanctions were designed to put pressure on Mugabe's government.
[David Miliband, British Foreign Secretary]:
''The sanctions that we and others are proposing are designed very much to reinforce the drive for the transitional government that reflects the democratic will of the Zimbabwe people as expressed in the election in March".
Existing EU sanctions include an arms embargo, visa bans and freezing of assets on more than 100 officials including Mugabe.
[David Miliband, British Foreign Secretary]:
"..And so I think we should recognize that the announcement yesterday is a first step, I think Mr. Tsvangirai describes it as a tentative first step. It requires an end to the violence, it requires an end to the ban on humanitarian NGOs getting around Zimbabwe. Those are the first steps towards a resolution
of the Zimbabwean crisis".
Zimbabwe's ruling party and the opposition Movement for Democratic Change will begin negotiations in Pretoria on Tuesday on a power-sharing deal that could end the political crisis.

GOOD Magazine: Sanctions & Segways: North Korean Nukes
http://www.GOODMagazine.com
October, 2006: The U.N. sanctioned a long list of delectable goods that could no longer pass over North Korea's borders. This was no typical maneuver to target military build-up or weapon designs. Instead, the U.N. hoped to entice Kim Jong Il away from his nuclear warheads by blacklisting luxury items specific to his extravagant tastes.

HEADLINE NEWS WITH DBICKFORD BUSH SANCTIONS ZIMBABWE
By DEB RIECHMANN, Associated Press Writer
Fri Jul 25, 11:55 AM ET
WASHINGTON - President Bush signed an executive order on Friday to expand sanctions against what he calls the "illegitimate" regime of Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe and his supporters.
ADVERTISEMENT
Bush's action was meant to send a strong message that the U.S. will not permit individuals closely linked to Mugabe to operate in U.S. financial markets. The new sanctions also are meant to add pressure on Mugabe, whose ruling party recently began power-sharing talks with the opposition to try to resolve the country's economic and political crisis.
"No regime should ignore the will of its own people and calls from the international community without consequences," Bush said in a statement.
The president said he took steps to extend sanctions as a result of the Mugabe regime's continued "politically motivated violence" and the African leader's decision to disregard calls from the Southern African Development Community, the African Union and the United Nations to halt the attacks.
Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai says he won March presidential elections. But Tsvangirai did not win enough for an outright victory and pulled out of a June runoff because of state-sponsored violence that has killed more than 150 opposition supporters, injured thousands and left tens of thousands homeless. Mugabe went ahead with a one-man presidential runoff widely dismissed by the international community as a sham.
"Should ongoing talks in South Africa between Mugabe's regime and the Movement of Democratic Change result in a new government that reflects the will of the Zimbabwean people, the United States stands ready to provide a substantial assistance package, development aid, and normalization with international financial institutions," Bush said.
Bush also said that Mugabe has continued his ban the activities of non-governmental organizations that are trying to provide assistance to the vulnerable people of Zimbabwe.
Meanwhile, he reaffirmed his commitment to support the people of Zimbabwe with up to $2.5 million from the U.S. Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund to assist Zimbabwean refugees and asylum seekers who have been displaced by the violence.
The Treasury Department designated 17 entities and one individual that it says has supported Mugabe's regime and therefore is undermining the democratic process in Zimbabwe.
"In light of the continued intransigence of the brutal Mugabe regime, the U.S. is imposing further sanctions against this regime and its supporters," said Adam J. Szubin, director of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control. "These actions send a clear warning to those who would protect Mugabe and his assets at the expense of the Zimbabwean people."
The European Union on Tuesday broadened similar sanctions against Zimbabweans, adding 37 new individuals and companies to the existing list of 131.
However, two weeks ago China and Russia vetoed a U.S.-sponsored U.N. Security Council resolution that proposed worldwide sanctions against Mugabe and 13 of his officials.
As a result of Treasury's action, the U.S. assets of the one individual and 17 entities must be frozen. Additionally, U.S. persons are prohibited from conducting financial or commercial transactions with those designated under the sanctions. They are:
_Thamer Bin Saeed Ahmed al-Shanfari, an Omani national with close ties to the Mugabe regime, and his company, Oryx Natural Resources, which al-Shanfari allegedly uses to enable Mugabe and his senior officials to derive personal benefit from various mining ventures in Congo.
_OSLEG, also known as Operation Sovereign Legitimacy, a commercial arm of the Zimbabwean army.
_Minerals Marketing Corporation of Zimbabwe, the marketing and export agent for all minerals, except gold and silver, mined in Zimbabwe.
