Part 1: Sanctions regulations Chapter 3: Temporary powers in relation to EU sanctions lists Section 37: Rights of UN-named person on EU sanctions list
Where a person is on a retained EU sanctions list by virtue of a UN Security Council resolution, the procedure for seeking removal from that list reflects the procedure in section 25; namely, that they can only make a request to the appropriate Minister to use best endeavours to remove their name from the relevant UN list. This section reflects the fact that the UK is under a binding obligation in international law to designate the person, and the obligation persists until the designation is lifted by the UN itself.
