Overview
On 5 July 2023, the EU strongly condemned the ongoing fighting in Sudan, as well as the continued refusal of the parties to the conflict to seek a peaceful solution. The EU expressed its readiness to consider the use of all means at its disposal, including restrictive measures, to contribute to putting an end to the conflict and encourage peace. In view of the continued gravity of the situation, on 9 October 2023, the Council adopted a new EU autonomous framework for targeted restrictive measures in view of activities undermining the stability of Sudan and the transition to democracy. The measures consist of a travel ban to the EU and an asset freeze for persons and entities; additionally, EU persons and entities are forbidden from making funds available to those listed. Derogations and exemptions to the restrictive measures are possible, including the delivery of humanitarian aid. Adopted by: EU.
