“Awareness of sanctions is... important for all Bailiwick individuals”

Guernsey can be proud of its role in the implementation of international sanctions, according to Policy and Resources.

The Committee is seeking to raise awareness of sanctions against countries, people and organisations.

The public is being is signposted to the island’s sanction regime ONLINE.

P&R said this information is updated in line with new designations of individuals, and that anyone with reason to believe that they may be affected should familiarise themselves with the available information. 

“Guernsey can be rightly proud of the role it plays regarding the implementation and administration of international sanctions,” said the President of P&R, Deputy Lyndon Trott. 

“Being in lockstep with the UK on sanctions and aligning with the UK’s foreign policy is an important part of our constitutional relationship with the Crown (which is through the UK Government).  

“Our financial service sector and related industries are already aware and fully engaged on the implementation of sanctions. However, as global security becomes increasingly threatened by terrorism and the risk of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, I would encourage all of the business community and members of the wider public to have knowledge of the Bailiwick’s sanctions regime.  

“This is relevant for those undertaking all types of business activities as well as those who have their own personal investments. The whole island should be aware of the leading role that we play in the international community in countering terrorism financing and proliferation financing. This helps ensure that everyone continues to play a part in that.”
