19/02/2025
The EU Council has renewed its EU Terrorist List and related humanitarian exceptions
on 30 Jan 2025, the EU
- Renewed the list of persons, groups and entities subject to restrictive measures with a view to combatting terrorism, delisting one deceased person and maintaining the rest unchanged.
- There are currently 14 persons and 22 groups and entities subject to the restrictive measures in force, which consist of the freezing of funds and other financial assets or economic resources in EU member states.
- Here are a few entities that are subject to EU restrictive measures:
- ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaeda: These groups are well-known for their involvement in terrorist activities
- Hamas: A Palestinian Islamic organization with a military wing
- Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ): Another Palestinian militant organization
- It is also prohibited for EU operators to make funds and economic resources available to those listed.
- Extended the duration of the humanitarian exceptions, introduced in February 2024 for an initial period of one year, until 22 February 2027, to ensure continued timely delivery of humanitarian assistance and other activities that support basic human needs in line with UN Security Council resolution 2664 (2022).
Background
The EU Terrorist List,
- i.e. the sanctions regime set out in Common Position 2001/931/CFSP, is separate from the EU regime implementing UN Security Council resolutions 1267 (1999), 1989 (2011) and 2253 (2015) and targeting Al-Qaida and ISIL/Da'esh.
- Is also separate from the sanctions’ framework adopted in January 2024, targeting those who support, facilitate or enable violent action by Hamas or the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
The EU may also apply restrictive measures autonomously to
- ISIL/Da'esh and Al-Qaida and persons and entities associated with or supporting them.
