for Ministerial duty-bearers, policy under development

The Sanctions and Asset-Freezing (Jersey) Law 2019 ("SAFL"), along with the Sanctions and Asset-Freezing (Implementation of External Sanctions) (Jersey) Order 2021 which is made under SAFL, are the key pieces of sanctions legislation, through which Jersey implements all United Nations sanctions and all autonomous UK sanctions.

The Draft Sanctions and Asset-Freezing Law (Jersey) Amendment Regulations 202- (the "Draft Regulations") would, if adopted, ensure that sanctions implementation in Jersey remain aligned with the UK, where appropriate, and that the Minister for External Relations (the "Minister") continues to meet his international obligations in his role as competent authority for sanctions in Jersey.

Groups of children could include early years, primary or secondary education; young adults; children with additional learning needs; disabled children; children living in poverty; children from particular ethnic backgrounds; migrants; refugees; care experienced children and LGBTQ+ children

The Draft Sanctions and Asset-Freezing Law (Jersey) Amendment Regulations 202 are not likely to impact any specific groups of children.

The Draft Sanctions and Asset-Freezing Law (Jersey) Amendment Regulations 202 are likely to neither positively or negatively impact children.

4)  Is a full Children's Rights Impact Assessment required?

If you have identified impacts on children and their rights, a full CRIA should be completed. If no impacts are identified then a Full CRIA is not required, but please explain your rationale and how you reached this conclusion

It is not considered that a full CRIA is required.
