It was collected in the context of a research paper on "Key features of illicit economies in African conflicts: Insights from the reports of UN Panels of Experts". Useful data sources on illicit economies and transnational organized crime in conflict zones are scarce and options for field research in several conflict zones over longer periods of time limited. Panels of Experts provide regular reports based on official mandates and guidelines for monitoring UN sanctions implementation. In order to address the research question, the reports on five out of ten conflict-related UN sanctions regimes that have been ongoing in mid-2021 have been selected. The choice was to focus on African cases (which are seven out of the ten) and those where UN sanctions as well as other UN actors (especially peacekeeping or support operations) have been actively involved. Initially, coding was conducted for CAR, DRC, Libya, Mali, and Somalia based on all UN PoE reports from the last five years (2015 to mid-2021). For Mali, reports are only available since 2018 as the sanction’s regime was only established in 2017.The present dataset contains information on illicit economies in African conflict areas between 2015 and mid-2021 from UN Panel of Experts reports.
