Updated: Updated with latest HM Treasury Notice, 11/08/2017, Libya (Reg 2017/1456)
In 2011 the United Nations, amongst other matters, imposed financial sanctions against designated persons involved in or complicit in ordering, controlling, or otherwise directing, the commission of serious human rights abuses against persons in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, including by being involved in or complicit in planning, commanding, ordering or conducting attacks, in violation of international law, including aerial bombardments, on civilian populations and facilities; or acting for or on behalf of or at the direction of such persons.
In 2011 the European Union adopted the UN measures and agreed to independently list persons involved in or complicit in ordering, controlling, or otherwise directing, the commission of serious human rights abuses against persons in Libya, including by being involved in or complicit in planning, commanding, ordering or conducting attacks, in violation of international law, including aerial bombardments, on civilian populations and facilities.
On 18 January 2016, the European Union adopted Council Regulation (EU) 2016/44 consolidating the existing restrictive measures into a new Regulation, thus repealing and replacing EU Regulation 204/2011. This was done for clarity, as the original Regulation had been extensively changed to reflect changes to the UN sanctions regime.
