Britain Adds Seven Designations to Human Rights Sanctions List

Britain added seven new designations under its global human rights sanctions regime. The measures target individuals and entities linked to Israeli settlers in the West Bank. The designations were made under an existing sanctions framework that allows Britain to impose asset freezes and travel bans on foreign persons.

Officials did not release the names of those designated in the initial announcement.

The new listings focus on conduct connected to settlement activity in the West Bank. No additional details on specific violations or affected parties were provided at the time of the announcement. Britain maintains the global human rights sanctions regime to address serious violations abroad. The regime permits restrictions on individuals and organizations regardless of nationality.
