The South Sudan (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 came fully into force on 31 December 2020. They are intended to ensure that certain sanctions measures relating to South Sudan continue to operate effectively. You should also review the Sanctions (EU Exit) (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2020 and the Sanctions (EU Exit) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 3) Regulations 2020 to find out any amendments made to the Regulations. This sanctions regime gives effect to the UK’s obligations under United Nations Security Council Resolutions 2206 and 2428 and aims to bring peace, stability and an end to the conflicts in South Sudan. These regulations have replaced, with substantially the same effect, relevant existing EU legislation and related UK regulations.
