Details

The Afghanistan (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 ensure sanctions for Afghanistan are implemented effectively after the UK leaves the EU.

Context

UN sanctions were initially imposed in 1999 in response to the actions of the Taliban, including providing sanctuary and training for international terrorist groups.
