Summary

The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has updated the UN Sanctions ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida Regulations 2008. These amendments, effective from December 23, 2008, implement UN Security Council resolutions concerning sanctions against ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida, affecting financial dealings and asset controls.

What changed

The Charter of the United Nations (Sanctions—ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida) Regulations 2008 have been updated, with the latest version noted as having an "order-print-copy" date of March 26, 2026, and an effective date of December 23, 2008. The regulations, administered by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, implement UN sanctions against ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida. Key provisions include prohibitions on sanctioned supply and services, dealings with designated persons or entities, and controlled assets, with provisions for permits.

Entities involved in international trade, financial services, and asset management must ensure compliance with these regulations. This includes verifying that no sanctioned goods or services are supplied, and that dealings with designated individuals or entities are prohibited. Compliance officers should review the specific definitions of 'sanctioned supply,' 'sanctioned service,' and 'controlled assets' to ensure adherence to prohibitions and to manage any necessary permit applications. The regulations are authorized under the Charter of the United Nations Act 1945.

What to do next

  1. Review definitions of 'sanctioned supply', 'sanctioned service', and 'controlled assets'.
  2. Ensure no dealings with designated persons or entities are conducted.
  3. Verify compliance with prohibitions on sanctioned supply and services.
