UK Introduces Sanctions Against Haiti – GlobalComplianceNews

December 16, 2022 by Admin

The UK has introduced a sanctions regime designed to target criminal actors, gangs and their financiers whose actions are causing instability in Haiti, pursuant to The Haiti (Sanctions) Regulations 2022, which enter into force on 28 December 2022.
The restrictive measures consist of: financial sanctions measures through a targeted asset freeze on designated persons and prohibitions on making funds or economic resources available; trade sanctions, including restrictions on the trade in military goods and military technology (as specified in Schedule 2 to the Export Control Order 2008); and travel restrictions in respect of designated persons, implemented through section 8B of the Immigration Act 1971. The UK has published an explanatory memorandum and guidance accompanying the Regulations.
These measures follow the EU’s introduction of restrictions against gang leaders in Haiti and their financiers on 28 November and UN Resolution 2653 (2022) imposing UN sanctions on Haiti. See our previous blog post on the EU measures here.
The Regulations provide that each person for the time being named on the Resolution 2653 Sanctions List is a designated person for the purposes of the financial and trade sanctions. So far only one person (gang leader Jimmy Cherizier) has been designated.
