The EU & Switzerland have joined the US in implementing the recent UN designations of Joseph Kony and his group the Lord’s Resistance Army (see previous blog). Under Kony’s leadership, the LRA is said to have been involved in the abduction and mutilation of thousands of civilians across central Africa, illicit trade in natural resources, sexual violence, murder, slavery, and the recruitment of child soldiers since the group was founded in 1987.
