This news release is issued to publicise the addition of 6 entries under the Global Human Rights sanctions regime.
The Global Human Rights Sanctions Regulations 2020 have effect in the Isle of Man by the Sanctions (Implementation of UK Sanctions) Regulations 2024 ('the Regulations'), which are made under the Sanctions Act 2024.

- Right to life
- Right not to be subjected to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment
- Right to be free from slavery, not to be held in servitude or required to perform forced or compulsory labour
On 3 May 2024 the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office updated the UK sanctions list. This list provides details of those designated under sanctions legislation.
