Lebanon

These Regulations are made under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 to establish a sanctions regime in relation to Lebanon for the purposes of compliance with the United Kingdom's United Nations obligations under resolution 1701 (2006). The Lebanon (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 came fully into force on 31 December 2020. They put in place sanctions measures to ensure the UK continues to meet its obligations under the United Nations sanctions regime relating to Lebanon. You should also review the Sanctions (EU Exit) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 3) Regulations 2020 to find out any amendments made to the Regulations. Under this regime, the sale or supply of arms and related material, and the provision of related services, is prohibited in Lebanon without the authorisation of the Government of Lebanon or the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). These regulations have replaced, with substantially the same effect, relevant existing EU legislation and related UK regulations.

Licensing and exception provisions are contained in Part 3 of the Regulations.
