Sudan: Sanctions

Asked by Anneliese DoddsLabour (Co-op)Foreign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 8 September 2026UIN 21366

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the sanctions announced on 17 July 2026 which covered a number of entities including some Sudanese-UAE registered companies involved in Rapid Support Forces financing and procurement, whether the Government has shared the information it holds relating to these designations with the Financial Action Task Force.

Answered by Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office

Financial Action Task Force (FATF) promotes global standards which aim to tackle money laundering, terrorist and proliferation financing, and assesses whether jurisdictions are taking effective action. As such the UK does not as a matter of course share information relating to our sanctions designations with them. However, as a FATF member, the UK regularly submits relevant evidence to FATF Assessment Teams during their periodic assessment process, as set out in FATF's Universal Procedures.
