New York - Guinea broke a United Nations embargo by sending arms to neighbouring Liberia, where rebels used the weapons to commit atrocities, Human Rights Watch said on Wednesday.
The UN Security Council, which currently includes Guinea, is to review the sanctions on Thursday. The sanctions are in force until May.
"It's appalling that Guinea, a current member of the Security Council, has flouted the arms embargo on Liberia," said Lisa Misol, arms researcher with Human Rights Watch.
"The Security Council must hold Guinea accountable for this major breach."
