Part 1: Sanctions regulations Chapter 1: Power to make sanctions regulations Section 8: Other sanctions for the purposes of UN obligations
This section enables Ministers to put in place other forms of sanctions not specifically mentioned in sections 3 to 7 but which are required in order to comply with UN obligations. This would enable the UK to continue to uphold its international law obligations in the event that the UN requires the imposition of a sanction that is not otherwise contained within sections 3 to 7. It therefore future-proofs the Act against the development of new types of sanctions by the UN Security Council.
