While a panel of UN experts earlier this month said further sanctions against Liberia would have more "negative impacts" on the country's economy, another expert panel yesterday recommended to extend the sanctions...With yesterday's recommendations to impose a ban on all round log exports from Liberia starting from July 2002, the UN Security Council thus finds itself in the difficult position of choosing between effectively hurting the Liberian elite but at the same time worsening the humanitarian situation in Liberia or taking the livelihood of Liberian civilians into consideration but probably prolonging the Taylor dictatorships life expectancy.
