The Guinea (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019
These Regulations are made under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (c.13) to establish a sanctions regime in relation to Guinea. These Regulations are made for the purposes of encouraging the Government of Guinea to investigate properly the violent repression in Guinea on 28th September 2009 and the aftermath of that violent repression, and hold to account and bring criminal proceedings against the persons responsible for the violent repression and its aftermath. Following the UK's withdrawal from the European Union, these Regulations replace the EU sanctions regime in relation to Guinea currently in force under an EU Council Decision and Regulation.
