There are no current UN sanctions on Guinea. In response to the violent response to by government security forces to pollical demonstrators in Conakry, in 2009 the EU introduced an arms embargo, asset freezes and travel bans against members of the government. The UK imposes sanctions on Guinea to encourage the government to investigate the violent repression in 2009. The US does not have a Guinea sanctions regime, but in December 2022, the US designated former President of Guinea.
