These Regulations are made under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (c.13) to establish a sanctions regime for the purposes of implementing the United Kingdom's international obligations under UN Security Council Resolution 1636 (2005), adopted in response to the terrorist bombing in Beirut, Lebanon on 14 February 2005 that killed former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri and others (the “2005 bombing”). Following the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, the Regulations replace the European Union sanctions regime in relation to Resolution 1636 (2005), implemented via an EU Council Decision and Regulation.
