OFSI creates new ‘regime pages’ to host future sanctions notices

Link(s):Current UK sanctions regimes – GOV.UK

Context

The OFSI has confirmed that, following the closure of the OFSI Consolidated List of Asset Freeze Targets, new regime pages have been created to host future sanctions notices.  These notices will cover all changes to designations made under each regime on the UK Sanctions List. The old financial sanctions regime pages will remain available for reference, but will no longer be updated with new sanctions notices.  You can find all new regime pages on with  Current UK sanctions regimes links to each individual regime page.

Key points to note and next actions

  • The individual pages are split into two groups, being regimes listed by country (e.g., Afghanistan, Myanmar, Russia et.) and regimes listed by ‘theme’ (e.g., chemical weapons, counter-terrorism, global human rights etc.).
  • A guidance page is available to describe the recent changes.
