  • A "world first" sanctions regime which specifically targets people smugglers will be introduced by the government this year, David Lammy will announce.

The UK government is set to introduce a pioneering sanctions regime aimed at targeting individuals involved in people smuggling, marking the first such initiative globally. This new approach will enable the UK to impose sanctions like travel bans and asset freezes on those orchestrating illegal migration across borders. The move comes in response to the increasing number of migrants attempting to cross the English Channel, with the government aiming to disrupt the business model of human trafficking networks. This initiative was highlighted by Home Secretary James Cleverly, who emphasized the government's commitment to stopping the boats and dismantling the operations of people smugglers. The sanctions will not only target the smugglers but also those who facilitate or profit from these illegal activities, showcasing the UK's resolve to address this humanitarian and security issue.
