answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2022 answer text <p>The UK will not consider lifting sanctions in Syria until the Assad regime ceases brutalising its own people and regularly committing atrocities and violations of international law, evidenced by the UN Commission of Inquiry ongoing reports. UK sanctions are designed to hold the regime to account, and encourage Assad to engage in the UN-facilitated political process. Our designations are carefully targeted, and applied only where there is ample evidence to demonstrate culpability. To guard against unintentional impact on civilians, UK sanctions include humanitarian provisions, such as licensing grounds and exceptions. We also engage with international NGOs to minimise over-compliance.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 05/12/2022 16:17:17 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
