Britain will later impose sanctions independently for the first time on dozens of individuals accused of human rights abuses around the world.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab will launch the government's new post-Brexit sanctions regime by naming the first violators to have their assets frozen. In the past, Britain has almost always imposed sanctions collectively as a member of the United Nations or the European Union.Later, Mr Raab will table the final legislation needed to trigger the UK's new autonomous sanctions regime.
It will target individuals or organisations accused of human rights violations around the world, as well as those who profit financially from those abuses.The foreign secretary will name several dozen people who will have their assets in the UK frozen and who will also be banned from entering the country.
The first list is expected to include individuals from Russia, Saudi Arabia and North Korea but not, as yet, China.
When will we impose sanction on US warmongers?
And that was of course possible before Brexit.
Start with the brutal Israeli regime
Pretty sure the U.K. imposed sanctions to rogue clients singularly, way before the EU conglomerate was created...
Sensationalism at its best. This is another 'look over there' news piece full of half-truths, so the Government can give themselves a pat on the back and look as though they're actually doing something.
this will be an interesting read on who's on and who isn't.
Watch out Isle of Wight, we're coming for ya!!!
Can we presume the name BorisJohnson will head this list as one of the main human rights abusers along with his Saudi Arabian pals wreaking mass slaughter in Yemen, killing innocent men, women and children there on a daily basis? Asia night BowenBBC BBCWorld
Are the government going to impose sanctions on themselves? 🤔
UK Govt wants a NO DEAL Brexit Tories: an English national party, Brexit party, not better than Farage's party MEP Lamberts, 'there's no negotiation' with UK. UK Govt is failing Wales, Scotland & N Ireland BBCScotlandNews BBCPolitics BBCnireland
LukeEdwardsTele how can this not affect the Newcastle takeover?
premierleague They are going to name Saudis. This will have an effect on the takeover of Newcastle.
The concept of a nation doing this co-responsible for killing 100s of 1000s in Iraq, Syria & Libya in recent years (based on lies) is a sick joke. Are we really expected to take self-awarded saintliness like this at face value? Only those with terminal amnesia will stomach it.
But he won’t put sanctions on Israel for abuse of power , breaking international law and mistreating Palestinians,he hasn’t got the balls😂🤑🤧😎
It will be interesting to see the full list, and I wonder what will happen to all the assets!
Let me guess; you forgot to ask him about the RussiaReport and the Tory donors that are listed in the Panama Papers? Sanctions my arse. More like a protection racket for Tory HQ.
The level of influence the UK now has...
Profiting from abuses- There’s Jacob Rhys Mogg and pals on the list. Human rights abuses- there goes most of the cabinet.
Go to China to build and run care homes, then you will bring the worst nightmare to them and job done.
I am sure they are worried.
We must be so proud.
Hypocrisy. Irony.
Kudos
Start with the fucking Maduro
Imposing sanctions collectively is more powerful.
This is a joke, right?
That will work. Most of the countries who should suffer sanctions we have a dodgy deal with.
I wonder will they impose sanctions on those who ordered the abuse of the hooded men?
'The first list is expected to include individuals from Russia, Saudi Arabia and North Korea but not, as yet, China.' Obviously the Saudis aren't on there. We need to fuel their death machine in Yemen.
Will the USA President name be there too
I'm sure people will be quivering in their boots at the sanctioning power of one small, increasingly irrelevant nation.
Boris has got to be numero Uno on the list for his love of Domo, who introduced 'herd immunity' to the British public. And never shed a tear. Cause his eyes are not so good.
The sanctions are going to be imposed on dozens of individuals accused of human rights abuses around the world.
Will it be on Leicester sweat shops for its inhuman treatment of workers?
It’s been imposing sanctions on itself for some time now.
Sanctions are a form of state terrorism.
so Israel and Saudi Arabia then
