Concerned that former President Charles Taylor and his associates were actively undermining Liberia’s transition to democracy, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 1532 (2004) to freeze the assets of the exiled leader, immediate members of his family and other close allies and associates.
The measures contained in UNSCR 1532 (2004) were implemented in the European Union by the adoption of Council Regulation (EC) No 872/2004.
