Details

The Counter-Terrorism (International Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 came fully into force on 31 December 2020. They aim to further the prevention of terrorism in the UK and elsewhere by bringing together elements of several existing sanctions regimes.

This guidance assists people in implementing and complying with the regulations. It covers the prohibitions and requirements imposed and provides guidance on best practice for:

  • complying with the prohibitions and requirements
  • enforcing them
  • circumstances where they do not apply

This guidance should be read alongside more detailed sanctions guidance published by departments including the Department for Business and Trade (DBT), Home Office and HM Treasury, through the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI).
