Debate

Global Irregular Migration and Trafficking in Persons Sanctions Regulations 2025

Contribution

Without these regulations, individuals connected with human trafficking could be designated—as the noble Lord, Lord Verdirame, said—under the UK’s global human rights sanctions regime, and I, too, would be interested to know in what respect those powers are not sufficiently broad and whether these sanctions can do anything that counterterrorism powers cannot.
