Details

The Venezuela (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ensure sanctions relating to Venezuela are implemented effectively after the UK leaves the EU.

Context

This sanctions regime is aimed at encouraging the government of Venezuela to respect democratic principles, to comply with international human rights law and to respect human rights.
