FCDO Sanctions Unit will provide an update on recent sanctions measures in respect of Belarus.
Online
The UK has imposed a package of trade, financial, and aviation sanctions on Belarus, in response to the continued undermining of democracy and human rights violations by the Lukashenko regime. These measures coincided with the anniversary of the fraudulent election in Belarus, coincided with the US and Canada's announcement of their own packages of measures, and followed the EU’s measures announced on 24th June. See press release and statutory guidance.
We invite you to attend a webinar hosted by HMG officials to help you understand these new measures, where you will have the opportunity to ask questions on how this may affect your work.
This webinar will take place on Wednesday 25th August 2021 at 11:00 AM BST.
Speakers will include representatives from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, HM Treasury, Department for International Trade, and other government departments.
We will share relevant resources after the event, though will not be able to share a full recording.
