<p>The Government pursues a policy of targeted sanctions aimed at maximising the desired
political effect while minimising unintended consequences. This includes working with
international and domestic partners to protect humanitarian efforts as far as possible
from the impact of EU sanctions against Syria, UN sanctions against Iraq, and UN sanctions
against Daesh and Al'Qaida. We engage regularly with charities and other implementing
partners to minimise the impact of sanctions on these humanitarian efforts, for example
through the guidance published on 19 October by Her Majesty's Treasury's Official
of Financial Sanctions Implementation. The EU carries out regular reviews of its sanctions
and the UN Security Council receives monitoring reports from panels of experts. The
UK participates actively in these review processes and reports to Parliament on the
EU's regular reviews of its sanctions regimes through the agreed scrutiny process
for EU legislation.</p>
