Ryan Cornelius
Asked by: Baroness Kennedy of Shaws (Labour - Life peer) Friday 7th March 2025 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to impose targeted sanctions against the individuals responsible for the arbitrary detention of British citizen Ryan Cornelius in the United Arab Emirates. Answered by Lord Collins of Highbury - Lord in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) Sanctions can be used to achieve a range of foreign and security policy objectives. We use sanctions when they complement other tools as part of a wider strategy. We consider designations under our sanctions regimes, including the Global Human Rights Sanctions Regulations, guided by the evidence and the objectives of the sanctions regime. It would not be appropriate to speculate about future sanctions designations as to do so could reduce their impact. |

The Government’s stated purpose for the Bill is to support its mission to halve knife crime and violence against women and girls in a decade, to increase public confidence in policing and the wider criminal justice system, to support neighbourhood policing and give the police the powers they need to tackle anti-social behaviour, crime and terrorism, whilst introducing reforms to ensure that law enforcement agencies perform to high standards and focus on front-line policing. Many of the changes proposed by the Bill would engage the human rights of victims, perpetrators and other members of the public |
