- 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 I of Council Decision (CFSP) 2015/1333.

In view of the seriousness of the situation in Libya, on 26 February 2011 the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1970 (2011), introducing restrictive measures in relation to persons and entities involved in serious human rights abuses against persons in Libya. The Security Council has since adopted a number of other resolutions on Libya that have extended or amended the measures. On 28 February 2011, the Council of the EU implemented the first UN Resolution and imposed additional restrictive measures in view of the seriousness of the situation in Libya. In its 17 July 2017 conclusions on Libya, the Council expressed its readiness to repeal the restrictive measures if the conditions for their application are no longer met, as well as introduce new measures against individuals who threaten the peace, security or stability of the country, impede the completion of Libya's political transition and are responsible for serious human rights abuses. Following the adoption of UN Resolution 2441 (2018) of 5 November 2018, restrictive measures explicitly apply to persons planning, directing or committing acts involving sexual and gender-based violence. EU autonomous measures are reviewed at regular intervals. Derogations to the restrictive measures are possible, including the delivery of humanitarian aid.
