It outlines the sanctions that can be introduced and the aims they may serve, empowers ministers to set detailed rules, and places obligations to ensure robust scrutiny and the safeguarding of the rights of those affected. Regulations made under SAMLA 2018 can create a wide range of measures—covering financial, trade, immigration, transport, etc. Financial sanctions typically prohibit dealing with assets, or making funds or economic resources available to, or for the benefit of, designated persons. There are also sectoral sanctions that forbid or restrict specified financial and investment activities. For our business, adherence to this framework is...
