The Sudan (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020

UN, UK country specific

Sudan

Asset freeze and making available provisions, Trade sanctions, 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. • Trade sanctions.

These Regulations are made under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (c.13) to establish a sanctions regime in relation to Sudan for the purposes of implementing many of the obligations that the United Kingdom has under UN Security Council Resolutions 1556 (2004), 1591 (2005), 1672 (2006) and 2035 (2012). Following the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, these Regulations also replace the European Union sanctions regime in relation to the situation in Sudan, implemented via an EU Council Decision and Regulation. The Sudan (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 Sudan, to encourage the resolution of the armed conflicts in and the stabilisation of Sudan, and to promote: • the peace, security and stability of Sudan • respect for democracy, the rule of law and good governance in Sudan • the effective delivery of the mandates of the regional or international monitoring and peace-support missions and mechanisms whose activities contribute to the peace, stability and security of Sudan • respect for humanitarian assistance activity in Sudan • compliance with the rules of international humanitarian law applicable to the armed conflicts in Sudan • respect for, and accountability in relation to violations or abuses of human rights in Sudan These regulations have replaced, with substantially the same effect, relevant existing EU legislation and related UK regulations.
