The Afghanistan (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020

UN, UK country specific

Afghanistan

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. • As described in section 1.1, the Regulations do not impose separate immigration sanctions on designated individuals. Such persons are already excluded persons for the purposes of Section 8B of the Immigration Act 1971. • Trade sanctions.

The Afghanistan (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 Afghanistan. UN sanctions were initially imposed in 1999, in response to the actions of the Taliban, including providing sanctuary and training for international terrorist groups. These regulations have replaced, with substantially the same effect, relevant existing EU legislation and related UK regulations. The Afghanistan (Sanctions) (EU Exit) (Amendment) Regulations 2022, which implemented United Nations Security Council Resolution 2615, came into force on 28 January 2022. The statutory guidance has been updated to reflect the new regulations. Those persons who are designated under this regime are included on the UK sanctions list.

Licensing and exception provisions are contained in Part 5 of the Regulations.
