Sanctions related to Belarus have been enacted under the Special Economic Measures Act in response to the gross and systematic human rights violations that have been committed in Belarus, as well as Belarus’s support of the Russian Federation’s violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, which constitutes a grave breach of international peace and security that has resulted in a serious international crisis. On September 28, 2020, the Special Economic Measures (Belarus) Regulations (“the Regulations”) came into force.
