Overview
The first UK Sanctions Strategy included a commitment to deter, disrupt and demonstrate. This panel discussion will evaluate the steps the UK government has taken to match the ambition of its Strategy, and discuss the significant evolutions in the UK’s use of sanctions and how the country can continue to make sanctions more effective. Panellists will discuss the different thematic and country regimes, cross-government coordination on sanctions, public-private collaboration, and the current levels of enforcement.
The ever-evolving sanctions threat landscape also requires the UK to be highly adaptive to identify and counter emerging risks. Complex circumvention methodologies, growing collaboration between targeted jurisdictions and new challenges posed by alternative payments systems and online threats demand the constant fine-tuning of designations and the recalibration of operational responses. Our discussion will consider the priorities of the UK’s sanctions agenda, expected updates to the government’s approach, as well as the outlook for the future of sanctions as the UK works more closely with the EU authorities in Brussels and contends with a new US Administration.
