Switzerland Drops 2 Names From DRC Sanctions List After General Court Ruling

Switzerland this week dropped two people from its Democratic Republic of the Congo sanctions regime, both of whom were originally sanctioned for committing "serious" human rights abuses in the country. Emmanuel Ramazani Shadary and Kalev Mutondo were delisted after the EU also delisted the pair following a General Court ruling annulling their listing, which said that the European Council did not establish a sufficient link between the men and the situation in the DRC (see 2306200023).
