The UN arms embargo was sought by the Milosevic regime itself

Evidence

On September 25, 1991, British Foreign Minister Douglas Hurd orchestrated passage of UN Security Council Resolution 713, an arms embargo on the former Yugoslavia by the UN Security Council, a resolution that the Milosevic regime was seeking. The five permanent members of the Security Council-U.S., Britain, France, Russia, and China-all voted for the resolution. The embargo locked into place a radical arms disparity between the Serb army and Bosnian army; in effect, it armed the Serb militants. — Michael A. Sells, The Bridge Betrayed, 304

• XREF: Parallels the law-merchant material where third-party institutions can entrench power asymmetries under a veil of neutrality.
