Restrictive measures in view of the situation in Nicaragua

EU country specific

Nicaragua

Asset freeze and prohibition to make funds available, Restrictions on admission

- All assets of the listed persons and entities should be frozen. It is also prohibited to make any funds or assets directly or indirectly available to them. - Member States shall enforce travel restrictions on persons listed in the Annex of Council Decision (CFSP) 2019/1720.

At the European Council on 21 January 2019, EU Member States condemned the muzzling of political opponents, independent media and civil society, and the use of anti-terrorist laws to repress dissenting opinions in the Republic of Nicaragua. In view of the continuing violations of human rights and civil liberties in the Republic of Nicaragua and to contribute to a peaceful negotiated way out of the current crisis, the Council established a new restrictive measures framework on 14 October 2019. This framework enables the EU to impose targeted restrictive measures, including travel bans and assets freeze, against persons, entities or bodies responsible for serious human rights violations and for undermining democracy and the rule of law in the Republic of Nicaragua, as well as persons associated with them. Derogations to the restrictive measures are possible, including the delivery of humanitarian aid.
