SANCTIONS

SHARE THIS PAGE

Sanctions are used as an enforcement tool to maintain and restore international
peace and security: these sanctions are made by the United Nations Security
Council (UNSC) and must be implemented by all UN members.

Sanctions are also used as a foreign policy tool by individual states, or groups
of countries working together, when all other diplomatic methods have failed.
These sanctions are sometimes referred to as autonomous sanctions and are made
outside the UNSC framework.

In addition to UNSC sanctions, the UK also implements its own autonomous
sanctions. Guernsey implements both UNSC sanctions and autonomous UK sanctions.

Sanctions are used:

 * to prevent and suppress the financing of terrorism and terrorist acts: for
   example, terrorist asset-freeze designations in place against certain
   individuals, groups or organisations engaged in, or supporting, terrorism
 * to encourage a change in the behaviour of a target country or regime: for
   example, the sanctions against Russia for its bombing and invasion of
   Ukraine, in addition to previous actions since 2014 that include the
   annexation of Crimea and other attempts to destabilise the country
 * to apply pressure on a target country or regime to comply with set
   objectives: for example, the sanctions against the Democratic People's
   Republic of Korea (North Korea) were put in place to encourage the regime to
   give up its nuclear weapons programme and to increase the cost on the regime
   of pursuing this policy

Sanctions are only used in the most serious of circumstances. In international
relation terms the only action considered more serious than sanctions is
military action. Countries usually try to achieve their aims diplomatically, but
if that is not possible they may introduce sanctions.

A wide range of measures can be enforced under sanctions regimes, from
asset-freeze designations (see below for more information on asset-freezes) to
restrictions on the import or export of specified goods, and prohibitions on the
provision of financial and other services.

How sanctions are implemented

Though Guernsey is not a UN member in its own right, the UK's membership of the
UN extends to the island. Therefore, in common with all UN members, Guernsey has
an obligation to implement UNSC sanctions Resolutions.

Both UNSC sanctions and autonomous UK sanctions are implemented by the UK under
the relevant sanctions Regulations made under the Sanctions and Money Laundering
Act 2018 ("SAMLA").

Guernsey implements both UNSC sanctions and autonomous UK sanctions by
implementing the relevant SAMLA Regulations.

For information on the sanctions regimes which are in place follow this link.
Updates on new sanctions regimes and changes to existing regimes are
available here, including changes to designations which are uploaded on the
website as soon as they are made.You can also find out more information
from this frequently asked questions document [283kb]. The UK Office of
Financial Sanctions Implementation at HM Treasury has also issued an FAQ
document on sanctions which is available by following this link and the UK
Financial Conduct Authority has issued guidance on financial crime that includes
sanctions which is available by following this link. These documents are
not binding on the Guernsey authorities but they may take them into account when
considering any question of implementation within the Bailiwick.

The United Nations and the European Union are key bodies that adopt sanctions
measures. In addition, as a result of the United Kingdom leaving the European
Union, the UK now enacts its own sanctions measures. These measures may be
autonomous sanctions regimes or may implement a UN sanctions regimes. UK
autonomous sanctions regimes that replace corresponding EU sanctions regimes are
broadly similar to, but not identical to, those EU regimes. Sanctions may
implement the following measures:

 * Financial sanctions including asset freezes and investment bans
 * Travel bans
 * Import and Export bans
 * Arms embargo
 * Trade restrictions

Sanctions against Russia

The UK's recent sanctions made against Russia in response to the war in Ukraine
have automatic effect in the Bailiwick. The Policy & Resources Committee has
made new sanctions Regulations to ensure these sanctions are adapted, with very
minor changes, for the Bailiwick's domestic context.

These Regulations are made in a coordinated way with the UK to ensure the latest
sanctions announced are adapted to meet the domestic context.

The Sanctions (Implementation of UK Regimes) (Bailiwick of Guernsey) (Brexit)
(Amendment) Regulations, 2022 [65kb]

The Sanctions (Implementation of UK Regimes) (Bailiwick of Guernsey) (Brexit)
(Amendment) (No.2) Regulations, 2022 [47kb]

Please be advised that the UK has updated its Russia guidance in line with the
current and emerging circumstances of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

All businesses are required to be proactive in monitoring the emergence of new
sanctions and the changes to previous designations. All actions taken by the UK
in regard to Russia sanctions can be found at this address as soon as they are
made:

Financial sanctions, Russia - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Designated persons are subject to an asset freeze and will appear on the
consolidated list, which can be found here.

The Policy & Resources Committee is carrying out a review of frozen assets
linked to persons designated under the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations
2019 (the Russia regime). The purpose of the review is to enable the Policy &
Resources Committee to update its records in respect of assets frozen under the
Russia regime. Businesses that hold or control frozen assets, or which have an
ongoing connection to frozen assets outside the Bailiwick, are therefore
requested to complete this  template [18kb] and submit it to the Policy &
Resources Committee by 24 November 2023.

Further information on the current sanctions in place in in the Bailiwick
against Russia is available here.

Further information on the Bailiwick's response to the war in Ukraine is
available here.


>  * LEGISLATION
>    
>    * The Bailiwick implements all types of international sanctions.
>    * Travel bans are implemented administratively under the Immigration Act
>      1971, as extended to the Bailiwick by the Immigration (Guernsey) Order
>      1993, rather than under specific sanctions legislation.
>    * Arms embargoes and related export restrictions are principally
>      implemented in the Bailiwick under general export control legislation
>      rather than by specific sanctions legislation (although there may be an
>      overlap with Guernsey's specific sanctions legislation in cases where
>      this includes certain import and export restrictions).  The relevant
>      legislation is the Export Control (Military, Security, and Related
>      Matters) (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Order, 2010. This Order expressly
>      mirrors and incorporates restrictions under the UK's Export Control Order
>      2008 and any changes made under the UK Order are automatically effective
>      under the Guernsey Order. The Committee for Home Affairs, through the
>      Guernsey Border Agency, is the competent authority for any import or
>      export licensing matters. Further information about the restrictions in
>      place under export control legislation is available by following this
>      link.
>    * All other forms of sanctions, including regime-specific sanctions, are
>      implemented in the Bailiwick under the Sanctions (Implementation of UK
>      Regimes) (Bailiwick of Guernsey) (Brexit) Regulations, 2020 (the 2020
>      regulations). The 2020 regulations give effect in the Bailiwick to
>      sanctions regimes enacted by the UK under the Sanctions and Anti-Money
>      Laundering Act 2018 (the SAML Act). Further details are set out in the
>      section on Brexit below. 
>    * It is the responsibility of each individual or institution to comply with
>      the relevant legislation and failure to comply is a criminal offence.
>    * It is important to note that changes to sanctions measures are
>      automatically effective under the 2020 regulations. These changes may
>      involve the addition of further prohibitions or, more commonly, the
>      adding or removing of names from lists of designated persons or entities
>      targeted by a particular sanctions regime. It is particularly important
>      to be aware that where a UN list is incorporated into a UK sanctions
>      regime that has been implemented in the Bailiwick under the 2020
>      regulations, any additions to the UN list are automatically effective
>      domestically. Therefore, in order to be aware of the full scope of
>      sanctions under a UK sanctions regime or UN Security Council Resolution
>      at a particular time, all amendments made to the UK sanctions regime or
>      Resolution in question up to that time must be taken into account.
> 
> 
>  * BREXIT
>    
>    * As a result of Brexit, the UK has introduced the Sanctions and Anti-Money
>      Laundering Act 2018 (the SAML Act), under which it both gives effect to
>      UN sanctions and enacts its own autonomous sanctions regimes  instead of,
>      as previously, implementing sanctions via EU Regulations.
>    * The Bailiwick's policy is to ensure that the sanctions regime applicable
>      domestically continues to mirror that in the UK. Therefore, a number
>      of legislative steps to achieve this have been put in place. First, under
>      the Sanctions (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2018, the Policy & Resources
>      Committee has enacted the Sanctions (Implementation of UK Regimes)
>      (Bailiwick of Guernsey) (Brexit) Regulations, 2020 ( the 2020
>      regulations), which came into force on 31st December 2020. The 2020
>      regulations give effect to all of the UK sanctions regimes under the SAML
>      Act to date, and repeal the Ordinances giving effect to corresponding EU
>      sanctions measures. They also contain transitional provisions which
>      specify that any licences or licence applications in existence as at
>      31st December 2020 are deemed to have been made under the 2020
>      regulations (subject to any applicable restrictions or conditions in the
>      case of existing licences). The 2020 regulations will be amended to add
>      any future sanctions that may be enacted by the UK under the SAML Act as
>      they come into force.
>    * Second, the Sanctions (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2018 has been amended
>      to repeal provisions that gave interim effect to UN sanctions measures
>      before they had been adopted by the EU. Interim provision of this kind is
>      no longer necessary, as changes to UN measures are automatically
>      effective under the UK sanctions regimes that implement them, and
>      therefore are automatically effective in turn under the 2020 regulations.
>    * Third, the definition of designated person under the Terrorist Asset
>      Freezing (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2011, has been amended. It
>      previously included persons designated by the UK under the Terrorist
>      Asset Freezing etc. Act, 2010 or by the EU under a specific
>      terrorism-related sanctions regime. The definition of designated person
>      now only covers persons designated by the Policy & Resources Committee.
>      This reflects the fact that in the UK, designations under the UK Act and
>      the EU regulation have been replaced by two dedicated terrorist
>      asset-freezing regimes under the SAML Act, and those regimes are
>      implemented in the Bailiwick by the 2020 regulations.
> 
> 
>  * REPORTING OBLIGATIONS
>    
>    * Under the Sanctions (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2018, there are specific
>      reporting obligations applicable to businesses that are subject to the
>      Bailiwick's regime for countering money laundering and terrorist
>      financing. Reports should be made using this form -  Sanctions Compliance
>      Reporting Form [300kb]. Further information is available here:  Guidance
>      on reporting obligations 2024 [153kb]. In addition, the UK sanctions
>      regimes implemented in the Bailiwick are subject to particular reporting
>      obligations which in some cases are generally applicable. These
>      obligations vary depending on the regime in question, but they primarily
>      relate to financial restrictions. Details of the applicable reporting
>      obligations are available by following this link.
> 
> 
>  * FINANCIAL RESTRICTIONS
>    
>    * The Bailiwick's position as a leading international financial sector
>      means that financial restrictions are the most likely to be relevant to
>      businesses in this jurisdiction. As well as comprehensive prohibitions on
>      dealing with sanctioned countries and their governments, financial
>      restrictions include targeted measures such as asset freezes and
>      prohibitions on providing specific financial services or making funds or
>      other economic resources available to designated individuals or entities.
>      Generally speaking, any person who fails to treat as frozen all accounts,
>      funds or economic resources belonging to, owned, held or controlled by a
>      designated person, entity, body or group, or who makes any funds,
>      economic resources (or, in some circumstances, financial or technical
>      assistance) available directly or indirectly to or for the benefit of
>      designated persons, is guilty of an offence unless the transaction in
>      question has been licensed (see section on licences below).
>    * It is important to be aware that asset freezes and prohibitions on making
>      funds or economic resources available apply irrespective of whether the
>      relevant assets are held solely by a designated person or are held
>      jointly with a third party, and they extend to interest and other assets
>      that  are derived from the assets subject to an asset freeze.
>    * Changes to the lists of designated persons or entities targeted by a
>      particular UK sanctions regime (whether this is an autonomous UK regime
>      or implements a United Nations Security Council Resolution) are
>      automatically effective in Guernsey. They are incorporated into lists
>      maintained by HM Treasury when they are made by the appropriate
>      designating body. As well as regime -specific lists, HM Treasury
>      maintains a consolidated list of designated persons under all regimes. It
>      is the responsibility of each individual or institution to familiarise
>      itself with changes to designations by checking these lists. The United
>      Nations maintains a mailing list for updates to its listings, which can
>      be accessed by sending a request to subscribe to the mailing list to
>      sc-sanctionslists@un.org. HM Treasury's Office of Financial Sanctions
>      Implementation also provides updates on listings, which can be signed up
>      to here - Get emails from GOV.UK - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). In addition to
>      these sources of information, the Policy & Resources Committee issues
>      Sanctions Notices which provide updates on listings. These are circulated
>      on behalf of the Policy & Resources Committee by the Financial
>      Intelligence Unit. Any person who wishes to sign up to receive Sanctions

>  * UNFREEZING AND DE-LISTING
>    
>    * It may sometimes happen that assets are frozen in the belief that they
>      are linked to a designated person when that is not in fact the case.
>      The Policy & Resources Committee may assist with unfreezing any assets in
>      the Bailiwick to which this applies, provided that it is satisfied that
>      the assets are not linked to a designated person. Guidance on the
>      procedures to follow if requesting assistance with unfreezing assets is
>      available here -  Unfreezing Guidance [147kb].
>    * The Policy & Resources Committee may also assist with requests to be
>      removed from a list of designated persons in appropriate cases. The
>      Policy & Resources Committee may vary or revoke its own designations made
>      under the Terrorist Asset Freezing Law, if satisfied that it is
>      appropriate to do so. In addition there is a right of appeal against
>      decisions as to designations made by the Policy & Resources Committee
>      under section 24 of the Terrorist Asset Freezing Law. This is available
>      to any person who is aggrieved by a particular decision, not just to the

> 
>  * PROPOSALS FOR DESIGNATION
>    
>    * The Policy & Resources Committee's role as competent authority for
>      financial sanctions includes making proposals to the United Nations
>      Security Council for designations under UN sanctions regimes (or the UK
>      for designations under the UK's autonomous sanctions regime). This
>      applies to all regimes but is particularly important in respect of
>      regimes related to activities that threaten global security such as
>      terrorism or the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and to the
>      financing of those activities. 
>    * The Policy & Resources Committee also has the power to make its
>      own designations under the Terrorist Asset Freezing (Bailiwick of
>      Guernsey) Law, 2011 in respect of an individual or entity  if it has
>      reasonable grounds to suspect that the individual or entity  is  involved
>      in terrorist activity, is owned or controlled directly or indirectly by a
>      person involved in terrorist activity, or is  acting on behalf of or at
>      the direction of a person involved in terrorist activity. 
>    * The Policy & Resources Committee will consider making designation

>  * RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER JURISDICTIONS
>    
>    * Although the Bailiwick's sanctions regime operates independently,
>      trans-jurisdictional issues may arise at times. Many transfers of funds
>      will be made to or from another jurisdiction that operates a sanctions
>      regime and in such cases a licence may be required in both jurisdictions.
>      unless there are specific measures in place to recognise a licence issued
>      by the other jurisdiction. This is the case in the UK, which under its
>      sanctions regimes recognizes licences issued by the Crown Dependencies or
>      the Overseas Territories; as implemented in the Bailiwick, this
>      recognition also includes licences issues by the UK.
>    * In addition, the legislative frameworks of some jurisdictions contain
>      provisions that are expressed to have extra-territorial effect, so that
>      they may apply to some of the parties involved in a Bailiwick transaction
>      on the grounds of nationality or place of incorporation even if the
>      jurisdiction in question is not involved in that transaction.
>    * The Policy & Resources Committee may also assist the sanctions
>      authorities in other jurisdictions in an appropriate case. Queries should
>      be sent to the Financial Crime Policy Office of the Policy & Resources
>      Committee at:
