Details
The Guinea (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ensure sanctions relating to Guinea are implemented effectively after the UK leaves the EU.
Context
This sanctions regime is aimed at encouraging the government of Guinea to:
- investigate properly the violent repression in Guinea on 28th September 2009 and the aftermath of that violent repression
- hold to account and bring criminal proceedings against the persons responsible for that violent repression and its aftermath
The Regulations impose asset freezes directed against those who were responsible for, participated in or promoted the violent repression in September 2009, or were involved in committing human rights violations or abuses during, or in the aftermath of, the violence.
