These Regulations are made under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (c.13) to establish a sanctions regime in relation to Burundi for the purposes of encouraging the Government of Burundi to: respect democratic principles and institutions and the rule of law; refrain from the repression of civil society; and comply with international human rights law and to respect human rights. The Regulations revoke and replace the existing sanctions regime established by the Burundi (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/1142) (“the 2019 Regulations”) to remove the purpose encouraging the Government of Burundi to participate in negotiations with its political opponents in good faith to bring about a peaceful solution to the political situation in Burundi, following the change of President in Burundi as a result of the elections in May 2020. The Regulations also remove a designation criterion associated with that purpose.
