95Furthermore, such obligations appear all the more inescapable since, as is clear from recital 1 of Decision 2011/72, that decision and the subsequent decisions were adopted as part of a policy of support for Tunisia based, in particular, on the objectives of promoting respect for human rights and the rule of law which are set out in Article 21(2)(b) TEU. Consequently, the purpose of those decisions, which is to assist the Tunisian authorities in finding any misappropriation of State funds that has taken place and to ensure that it remains possible for those authorities to recover the proceeds of misappropriation, would be irrelevant as regards those objectives if that finding were vitiated by a denial of justice or even by arbitrariness (see, to that effect and by analogy, judgments of 5 October 2017, Mabrouk v Council, T‑175/15, EU:T:2017:694, paragraph 64, and of 27 September 2018, Ezz and Others v Council, T‑288/15, EU:T:2018:619, paragraph 68).
