Sanctions Programs
In view of the military coup d’état on 26 July 2023 and the subsequent imprisonment of the democratically elected President of Niger, Mohamed Bazoum, the Council adopted an autonomous framework for restrictive measures in view of the situation in Niger on 23 October 2023. The restrictive measures consist of an asset freeze and prohibition to make funds available for individuals and entities, as well as a travel ban for individuals. The measures target those responsible for actions that threaten the peace, stability and security of Niger, undermine the constitutional order, democracy, and the rule of law, or constitute serious human rights violations or abuses, or violations of applicable international humanitarian law in Niger, or those associated with them. Derogations and exemptions to the restrictive measures are possible, including for the delivery of humanitarian aid. Adopted by: EU. No persons or entities are currently designated under this regime.
