Georgia: Sanctions
(asked on 5th March 2025) - View Source
Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of EU sanctions against individuals in Georgia, and whether they plan to implement similar sanctions.
Answered by
Baroness Chapman of Darlington
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
I am not aware of any EU sanctions on individuals in Georgia. The Foreign Secretary set out on 9 December 2024 that the UK was limiting engagement with the authorities, restricting defence engagement and suspending UK support to Georgian government programmes. Later in December we imposed sanctions on the Georgian Minister and Deputy Minister of the Interior and three police chiefs responsible for police brutality. We do not comment on future designations as this could affect their impact.
