UK Anti-Corruption Sanctions: A Year in Review

Global Anti-Corruption
Written By Guest User

2 May 2022

Introduced in April 2021, the UK’s Global Anti-Corruption Sanctions Regulations have provided the UK Government with an important new tool for tackling the most egregious corrupt practices committed around the world. Yet the effectiveness of sanctions have been undermined by:

  • a lack of designations;

  • the absence of a strategic approach to dismantling corrupt networks, their leadership, and enablers;

  • insufficient coordination and information sharing with other key sanctioning jurisdictions, including the US; and

  • limitations in implementation and enforcement.

This report contains key recommendations to ensure that the Global Anti-Corruption Sanctions Regulations are used ambitiously, consistently, and effectively.
