tabling member printed	Baroness Cox
uin	HL15532
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2019 answer text <p>The EU adopted restrictive measures, including the use of sanctions, against Burundi on 1 October 2015 following violence during the Presidential elections in 2015. These measures are a means of holding the perpetrators of human rights violations to account and encouraging both positive change in relation to political freedoms and inclusive political dialogue ahead of elections in 2020. Working with our international partners, the UK designs sanctions regimes, provides evidence for designations, and encourages cooperation to ensure that sanctions are used to achieve shared political goals, and that sanctions are properly implemented and enforced to secure maximum impact. The Office for Financial Sanctions implementation works to ensure that financial sanctions are properly understood, implemented and enforced in the UK.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 15/05/2019 13:42:57 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
