The United Nations Security Council has imposed a travel ban on five of the leaders of the coup in April this year.
The council "demands that the Military Command takes immediate steps to restore and respect constitutional order, including a democratic electoral process, by ensuring that all soldiers return to the barracks, and that members of the 'Military Command' relinquish their positions of authority."
The 15-member council said it will consider further sanctions, "such as an embargo on arms and financial measures."
The measures are the first sanctions imposed by the Security Council since it imposed sanctions on Libya while Gaddafi was in power.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stressed the importance of a return to constitutional order, in order to "send a clear and principled message against unconstitutional seizures of power."
