The UK sanctions regime – International Accountant

Sanctions Updates
Roger Gherson and Caroline Black ask whether the UK sanctions regime is fit for purpose in their article published in International Accountant.
They explore the UK’s Global Anti-Corruption sanctions framework and its alignment with the rule of law, highlighting serious concerns about the low threshold for designation, lack of independent oversight, and the human rights implications for those targeted.
The article advocates for clearer designation criteria, enhanced transparency in decision-making, and the introduction of independent oversight mechanisms to strengthen due process and uphold the rule of law within the UK sanctions regime.
