Omar al-Bashir is not subject to financial measures in the UK. The Office for Financial Sanctions Implementation, part of Her Majesty's Treasury, maintains a list of entities subject to such measures which is publically available. The onus is on financial institutions to comply with all bilateral and multilateral measures.
