These Regulations are made under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (c.13) to establish a sanctions regime in relation to Burma for the purpose of encouraging the Government of Burma to comply with international human rights law and to respect human rights. Following the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union, these Regulations replace the EU sanctions regime in relation to persons responsible for committing serious human rights violations in Burma, implemented via an EU Council Decision and Regulation.
