These Regulations are intended to provide for part of the UK’s counter-terrorism sanctions regimes after the UK leaves the EU. When these Regulations come into force they will replace, with substantially the same effect, counter-terrorism regimes that are currently in force under a range of EU legislation and related UK legislation. They will replace the EU autonomous sanctions regime in respect of ISIL (Da'esh) and Al-Qaida, and the EU’s counter-terrorism sanctions regime set out in Council Common Position 2001/931/CFSP. This sanctions regime also gives effect to the UK’s obligations under United Nations Security Council Resolution 1373. This instrument also applies to conduct by UK persons outside the UK. In addition, the maritime enforcement powers contained in Part 9 of this instrument apply in relation to British ships in international or foreign waters, ships without nationality in international waters and foreign ships in international waters.
