What UK Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 Section 1 - Power to Make Sanctions Regulations (UN Obligations, International Obligations, Listed Statutory Purposes) requires
Section 1 of the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (c. 13) provides the foundational UK statutory power to make sanctions regulations - the principal post-Brexit instrument enabling the UK to operate an autonomous sanctions regime independent of the EU. Under section 1(1), an appropriate Minister may make sanctions regulations where appropriate for the purposes of compliance with a UN obligation, with another international obligation, or for a purpose within subsection (2). Section 1(2) lists nine statutory purposes for which sanctions regulations may be made: (a) furthering the prevention of terrorism in the UK or elsewhere, (b) national security of the UK, (c) international peace and security, (d) UK foreign policy objectives, (e) promoting the resolution of armed conflicts or the protection of civilians in conflict zones, (f) providing accountability for or be a deterrent to gross violations of human rights, (g) promoting compliance with international humanitarian law, (h) contributing to multilateral efforts to prevent the spread and use of weapons and materials of mass destruction, (i) promoting respect for democracy, the rule of law and good governance. Section 1(3) requires the regulations to specify a stated purpose. Section 1(5) categorises sanctions regulations - financial, director disqualification, immigration, trade, aircraft, shipping, UN-obligation, or supplemental. Section 1 underpins the OFSI Consolidated List, the UK Russia regime, the UK Global Human Rights Sanctions Regulations 2020, and all other UK autonomous sanctions regimes.
