Charter of the United Nations (Sanctions—Iraq) Regulations 2008
Summary
The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has updated the Charter of the United Nations (Sanctions—Iraq) Regulations 2008. These regulations implement UN sanctions against Iraq, covering prohibitions on sanctioned supplies, export of sanctioned goods, and dealing with illegally removed cultural property.
What changed
The Charter of the United Nations (Sanctions—Iraq) Regulations 2008, administered by Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), have been updated. The regulations establish prohibitions related to sanctioned supplies, the export of sanctioned goods, and the handling of illegally removed cultural property of Iraq. They also outline provisions for permits to make sanctioned supplies and the transfer of controlled assets to the Development Fund for Iraq.
Entities involved in international trade, particularly those dealing with goods or assets related to Iraq, must review these regulations to ensure compliance. This includes understanding what constitutes a 'sanctioned supply' and 'sanctioned goods,' and adhering to any permit requirements. Failure to comply may result in penalties under Australian sanctions law.
What to do next
- Review the updated Charter of the United Nations (Sanctions—Iraq) Regulations 2008.
- Identify any transactions or activities involving Iraq that may be subject to sanctions prohibitions.
- Ensure compliance with regulations regarding the export of sanctioned goods and the handling of cultural property.
