Specific restrictive measures directed against persons acting in violation of the arms embargo with regard to the Democratic Republic of the Congo

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 provided should be without prejudice to the adoption of other measures to prosecute and try, in accordance with the provisions of international human rights conventions, persons suspected of committing serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, in particular through the International Criminal Court, on the basis of the ad hoc referral to the Court by the authorities of the Democratic Republic of the Congo on 19 April 2004 pursuant to the Rome Statute.
