I turn now to the question raised by the noble Baroness, Lady Hamwee, and others about why the global human rights sanctions were not thought sufficient. The UK’s global human rights sanctions regime enables persons to be designated for violating an individual’s right to life, their right not to be subjected to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, or their right to be free from slavery and not it be held in servitude or required to perform forced or compulsory labour. Where these rights are violated in the context of human trafficking, the global human rights sanctions regime would have applicability.
