Abstract
We systematically analyze constraints on supersymmetric theories imposed by the experimental bounds on the electron, neutron, and mercury electric dip ole moments. We critically reappraise the known mechanisms to suppress the EDMs and conclude that only the scenarios with approximate CP-symmetry or f lavour-off-diagonal CP violation remain attractive after the addition of th e mercury EDM constraint.
