Sanctions in the UK
Sanctions (including travel bans[1] and asset freezes) are a tool of foreign policy where the UK, as an EU member, not only implemented EU laws[2], but also played a leading role in making them.
While the policy lead for sanctions lies with the Foreign Office, the responsibility for enforcement lies with the Home Office (for travel bans) and HM Treasury, specifically the Office for Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI), which oversees a system of financial penalties for breaches of financial sanctions[3].
