🇬🇧 English

This decision keeps EU restrictive measures in place against Michael Makuei Lueth and updates his entry on the South Sudan sanctions list. The update reflects his current role as South Sudan’s Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, after previously serving as Minister for Information and Broadcasting. For businesses, banks, insurers, logistics providers, NGOs, and compliance teams, the practical point is simple: EU sanctions screening should continue to flag Michael Makuei Lueth. Any dealings that could involve listed persons should be checked against EU asset-freeze and travel-restriction rules.
