Targets individuals and entities obstructing the peace process in Sudan or committing violations of international humanitarian and human rights law, implementing the UN Darfur sanctions line established by UN Security Council Resolutions 1556 (2004) and 1591 (2005). Designated persons are subject to an asset freeze under Regulation (EU) No 747/2014, and natural persons are barred from entry or transit under Council Decision 2014/450/CFSP. These designation-level measures combine with an EU arms embargo covering the whole of Sudan, which is broader than the UN embargo focused on Darfur.
