• Travel Ban: restricts travel to individuals and entities subject to sanctions.

Mauritius’ Commitment to International Law

The establishment of the NSC and NSSEC will enable Mauritius to effectively implement these measures and ensure compliance with international sanctions. This move demonstrates Mauritius’ commitment to upholding international law and maintaining peace and stability globally.
