Asset freeze and making available provisions, Travel bans

• 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 effect of the Regulations is to impose a travel ban on persons who are designated by the Secretary of State for the purposes of being made subject to immigration sanctions under the Sanctions Act.

The Global Human Rights Sanctions Regulations 2020 put in place sanctions measures to deter, and provide accountability for, activities which, if carried out by or on behalf of a State within the territory of that State, would amount to a serious violation by that State of an individual’s: • right to life • right not to be subjected to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment • right to be free from slavery, not to be held in servitude or required to perform forced or compulsory labour The Regulations impose financial and immigration sanctions in order to deter, and provide accountability for, activities which, if carried out by or on behalf of a state within the territory of that state, would amount to a serious violation by that state of an individual’s: These activities could be carried out by either a state or non-state actor and, accordingly, both state and non-state actors may be designated under the Regulations. Whilst non-state actors do not have obligations under international human rights law, the UK nevertheless recognises the harmful and devastating impact that such activities by non-state actors can have on individuals’ mental and physical well-being.
