On Monday, August 9, 2021, Great Britain expanded its blocking
sanctions in respect of the Republic of Belarus by introducing
sectoral sanctions. Apart from Great Britain, also the USA and
Canada introduced some alterations in their sanctions regimes
(these will be covered below).
After exiting from the European Union, Great Britain has been
conducting an independent sanctions policy
Therewith, Great Britain's sanctions policy and sanctions
list in respect of the Republic of Belarus are broadly similar to
the European Union's restrictive measures and sanctions list,
covered by us in the previous article.
The alterations were adopted on the ground of The Republic of Belarus (Sanctions) (EU Exit)
(Amendment) Regulations 2021 (Regulations
2021). The Regulations amend the basic Great Britain's
Sanctions Regulations in respect of the Republic of Belarus - The Republic of Belarus (Sanctions) (EU Exit)
Regulations 2019 (Regulations 2019).
