We work continuously with the Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies to ensure they implement sanctions in line with international obligations. We also work closely with the UN, the Financial Action Task Force and other international bodies to promote effective global compliance. As part of our consultation on a future sanctions framework for the UK, we consulted with the Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies and we remain in regular contact with them about the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Bill.
