Procedural Posture

Action for Annulment / Final Judgment

  1. 1 Whether the applicant's right to be heard was violated in the renewal of restrictive measures.
  2. 2 Whether the Council committed manifest errors of assessment in maintaining restrictive measures against the applicant.

Ratio Decidendi

The Tribunal found that the Council had respected the applicant's right to be heard by providing timely communication of the grounds and evidence for the renewal of restrictive measures and allowing the applicant to submit observations, which were duly considered. The Tribunal also found no manifest error in the Council's assessment of the ongoing human rights situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo or in the applicant's continued relevance to the objectives of the restrictive measures. The application was therefore dismissed.
