Sanctions in response to ongoing human rights violations in Belarus

The specific prohibitions are set out in the regulations.
The Special Economic Measures Act enables the Government of Canada to take economic measures against certain persons in four situations: when an international organization of states or association of states of which Canada is a member calls on its members to do so, when a grave breach of international peace and security has occurred, when gross and systematic human rights violations have been committed in a foreign state or when acts of significant corruption involving a national of a foreign state have been committed.
