These Regulations are made under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (c.13) (“the Sanctions Act”) to establish a sanctions regime in relation to Yemen for the purposes of compliance with the United Kingdom’s international obligations resulting from various United Nations Security Council Resolutions, including, in particular, Resolution 2140 (2014) and Resolution 2216 (2015) and for the purpose of promoting the peace, stability and security of Yemen. These Regulations replace the Yemen (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 which omitted reference to section 4 of the Sanctions Act (immigration sanctions) in the preamble of that instrument. The policy is unchanged and S.I. 2020/733 is revoked by these Regulations.
