Justifications:
John Numbi was Inspector General of the Congolese Armed Forces (FARDC) from July 2018 until July 2020. Owing to his role, he bears responsibility for the human rights violations committed by the FARDC between July 2018 and July 2020, such as disproportionate violence against illegal miners from June to July 2019 committed by FARDC troops under his direct authority.
John Numbi has therefore been involved in planning, directing or committing acts that constitute serious human rights violations or abuses in the DRC.
Until early 2021, John Numbi retained a position of influence in the FARDC, especially in Katanga, where serious human rights violations committed by the FARDC have been reported.
John Numbi is involved in destabilising activities in the DRC, aimed in particular at the secession of the province of Katanga.
John Numbi is therefore still a threat to the human rights situation in the DRC and is responsible for sustaining the instability in the country, especially in Katanga.
