<p>The Government is ready to implement sanctions if we leave the EU in a no deal
scenario. It has laid Statutory Instruments (SIs) for 18 priority geographic and thematic
sanctions regimes under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act (2018). Retained
EU law will maintain the remainder as the Government continues to lay SIs; all sanctions
regimes will be under domestic legislation by the end of the year. We have also reviewed
and strengthened all our individual designation evidence and prepared processes for
the efficient and robust operation of our sanctions. As international law requires,
the United Kingdom will implement UN sanctions regimes in domestic law after withdrawal
from the EU, using the powers in the Act.</p>
