(1) On 28 February 2011, the Council adopted Decision 2011/137/CFSP Council Decision 2011/137/CFSP of 28 February 2011 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Libya (OJ L 58, 3.3.2011, p. 53). . In accordance with United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1970 (2011) and successor resolutions, Decision 2011/137/CFSP provided for an arms embargo, a ban on internal repression equipment, as well as restrictions on the admission and the freezing of funds and economic resources of certain persons and entities involved in serious human rights abuses against persons in Libya, including by being involved in attacks, in violation of international law, on civilian populations and facilities. Those natural or legal persons and entities are listed in the Annexes to Decision 2011/137/CFSP. Regulatory action was therefore required in order to provide the relevant necessary measures. The United Nations Security Council (‘the Security Council’) has since adopted a number of additional Resolutions on Libya that have extended or amended the UN's restrictive measures against Libya, including UNSCR 2174 (2014) amending the scope of the arms embargo and extending the application of the travel ban and asset freeze measures, and UNSCR 2213 (2015) in connection with the Security Council's commitment to the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and national unity of Libya.
