• The Regulations impose financial sanctions through a targeted asset freeze on designated persons and prohibitions on making funds or economic resources available. This involves the freezing of funds and economic resources (non-monetary assets, such as property or vehicles) of designated persons and ensuring that funds and economic resources are not made available to or for the benefit of designated persons, either directly or indirectly. • The Regulations do not impose separate immigration sanctions on individuals designated by UNSCR 2368. Such persons are already excluded persons for the purposes of Section 8B of the Immigration Act 1971. • Trade sanctions.

The ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida (United Nations Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 came fully into force on 31 December 2020. They are intended to give effect to the UK’s obligations under UN Security Council Resolution 2368. You should also review the Sanctions (EU Exit) (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2019, the Sanctions (EU Exit) (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2020 and the Sanctions (EU Exit) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 3) Regulations 2020 to find out any amendments made to the Regulations. This sanctions regime imposes certain measures against those for the time being named on the UN’s ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida sanctions list. These regulations have replaced, with substantially the same effect, relevant existing EU legislation and related UK legislation. Those persons who are designated under this regime are included on the UK sanctions list.

Licensing and exception provisions are contained in Part 6 of the Regulations.
