As a whole this sanctions regime is aimed at promoting the peace, security and stability of the Central African Republic. These Regulations are made under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (c.13) to establish a sanctions regime in relation to the Central African Republic for the purposes of compliance with the United Kingdom's United Nations obligations and for promoting peace, security, stability and human rights in the Central African Republic and related purposes. Following the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, these Regulations also replace the European Union sanctions measures in relation to the Central African Republic which are currently implemented via an EU Council Decision and Regulation.
