Summary

The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has updated the Autonomous Sanctions List, continuing the effect of designations and declarations for persons and entities related to Russia and Ukraine. This amendment ensures ongoing sanctions measures are in place.

What changed

This legislative instrument, administered by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, amends the Autonomous Sanctions (Designated Persons and Entities and Declared Persons – Russia and Ukraine) List 2014. It continues the effect of designations and declarations for individuals and entities associated with Russia and Ukraine for a further three-year period, commencing from August 28, 2020, and extending to February 24, 2026, as per the latest amendment referenced.

Regulated entities, particularly those involved in international trade and financial services, must review the updated list to ensure compliance with sanctions obligations. This includes prohibitions on dealing with designated persons and entities. Failure to comply may result in penalties. The continuation of these sanctions highlights the ongoing geopolitical situation and the need for vigilance in international dealings.

What to do next

  1. Review the updated Autonomous Sanctions List for Russia and Ukraine.
  2. Ensure all dealings with designated persons and entities comply with sanctions regulations.
  3. Update internal compliance policies and procedures as necessary.
