External policy: freezing of funds and economic resources of persons designated by the United Nations as impeding the peace process in the Darfur region in Sudan

The European Parliament adopted a resolution drafted by Jean-Marie CAVADA (ALDE, FR) and made some amendments to the proposal. (Please see the document of 13/06/2005.)

Parliament added that the measures will be without prejudice to the adoption of other measures aimed at implementing the cease-fire agreement signed in N’Djamena on 8 April 2004 or to the obligation to prosecute and try, in accordance with the provisions of international human rights conventions, persons suspected of having committed serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, or the continuation of the investigation by the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court into crimes committed in Darfur, on the basis of the ad hoc referral to the Court by the United Nations Security Council.
