These Regulations are made under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (c.13) to establish a sanctions regime in relation to Burundi for the purposes of encouraging the Government of Burundi to: respect democratic principles and institutions and the rule of law; refrain from the repression of civil society; search for a peaceful solution to the political situation in Burundi and 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 Burundi currently in force under an EU Council Decision and Regulation.
