In the Declaration by the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy on behalf of the European Union on the comprehensive EU human rights sanctions regime, the Union and its Member States reiterated their strong commitment to the promotion and protection of human rights worldwide.

In this context, it was decided to add four persons and two entities to the list of natural and legal persons, entities and bodies subject to restrictive measures contained in the Annex to Decision (CFSP) 2020/1999.

MALI

• On 22 April 2024, Council Decision (CFSP) 2024/1204 amending Decision (CFSP) 2017/1775 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Mali was published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This decision is taken in consideration of the serious human rights violations and abuses in Mali. The United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 2374 (2017) on 5 September 2017, which established a framework for the imposition of a travel ban and asset freeze on persons and entities responsible for, complicit in, or having participated in, directly or indirectly, activities that threaten peace, security or stability in Mali. On 28 September 2017, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2017/1775, which transposed into Union law the measures set out in UNSC Resolution 2374 (2017).

On 13 December 2021, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2021/2208, which amended Decision (CFSP) 2017/1775 and established a new framework allowing for restrictive measures against persons and entities responsible for threatening the peace, security or stability of Mali, or for obstructing or undermining the successful completion of the political transition in Mali. The UN sanctions regime expired on 31 August 2023, as the Security Council failed to reach an agreement on its extension.

On 4 January 2024, in view of the termination of the UN sanctions regime on Mali, the Council adopted Implementing Decision (CFSP) 2024/215, which deleted all entries in Annex I to Decision (CFSP) 2017/1775. In this context, it is also appropriate to delete certain provisions relating to UNSC Resolution 2374 (2017) from the operative part of Decision (CFSP) 2017/1775. In order to increase consistency and coherence between the Union restrictive measures, it is also appropriate to amend the existing humanitarian exemption and derogation mechanism, as well as to introduce a review clause related to those humanitarian exemptions.

REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA

• On 26 April 2024, Council Decision (CFSP) 2024/1244 amending Decision (CFSP) 2023/891 concerning restrictive measures against actions destabilising the Republic of Moldova was published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

The Union maintains its unwavering support for the Republic of Moldova and its resilience, security, stability, economy and energy supply in the face of destabilising activities by external actors. Given the continuing threat to democracy and the rule of law, as well as to the stability and security of the Republic of Moldova, the restrictive measures in force are extended until 29 April 2025. On the basis of the updated information, the entries for five persons on the list of natural or legal persons, entities and bodies subject to restrictive measures set out in the Annex to Decision (CFSP) 2023/891 are amended.
