Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that his government will impose sanctions on people-smuggling gangs, emphasizing the need to take strong actions against these criminal networks, which threaten global security.
Starmer's Labour Party has pledged to stop criminal gangs from sending thousands of migrants on dangerous journeys across the English Channel, treating these gangs as threats similar to terror networks.
The new sanctions, aimed at targeting illicit finance rings, require Parliament's approval and will take effect within a year, although their effectiveness is yet to be assessed.
British authorities face challenges in freezing assets of smugglers, who often operate outside the U.K., highlighting the complications in combating this complex issue of human trafficking.
