Context

In 2014 the European Union imposed restrictive measures, including an asset freeze, on certain persons involved in obstructing the political process in South Sudan or committing serious human rights violations.

UK Regulations

  • The South Sudan (European Union Financial Sanctions) (No. 2) Regulations 2015. This regulation replaces the South Sudan (European Union Financial Sanctions) Regulation 2014 (SI 2014/1827). This reflects changes introduced in Council Regulation (EU) No 2015/735 separating the persons and entities designated under this regime into two Annexes and updating exemptions for crediting of frozen accounts.
