Backgrounder – Sudan sanctions

As we mark one year since the conflict in Sudan began, Canada is imposing sanctions on Sudanese entities and individuals in response to their role in directly or indirectly undermining peace, security, and stability in Sudan and for their links to the main parties to the ongoing conflict, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Canadian measures

The Special Economic Measures (Sudan) Regulations impose a dealings prohibition (effectively, an asset freeze) by prohibiting persons in Canada and Canadians outside Canada from engaging in any activity related to any property of the listed persons or providing financial or related services to them. The listed individuals are also rendered inadmissible to Canada under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

The specific prohibitions are set out in the Regulations.

The names of the entities and individuals added to the schedule of these regulations are:
