On 1 October 2015, the EU imposed targeted restrictive measure against those undermining democracy or obstructing the search for a political solution in Burundi as well as those involved in planning, directing, or committing acts that violate international human rights law or international humanitarian law in Burundi. Since the beginning of the crisis in Burundi, the EU has been of the view that only through dialogue leading to consensus, in compliance with the Arusha Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation of 2000 and the Burundian Constitution, could a lasting political solution be found in the interests of security and democracy for all Burundi's people.
