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 Haiti (Sanctions) Regulations 2022 impose financial and trade sanctions for the purpose of giving effect to the United Kingdom’s obligations under United Nations Security Council Resolution 2653 (2022) (‘UNSCR 2653’).

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