Charter of the United Nations (Sanctions—Central African Republic) Regulation 2014

The regulation has been amended to maintain alignment with evolving UN Security Council sanctions on the Central African Republic. Part 1 establishes definitions for export sanctioned goods, sanctioned services, and sanctioned supplies. Part 2 contains the core prohibitions: section 8 prohibits sanctioned supplies, section 10 prohibits sanctioned services, section 11A prohibits dealings with designated persons or entities, and section 11B addresses controlled assets. Section 11C provides for permit applications, while section 11D extends certain provisions extraterritorially.

Australian entities engaged in international trade, particularly exports to or imports from the Central African Republic, must ensure compliance with these prohibitions. Financial institutions must screen against designated persons and entity lists and handle any controlled assets in accordance with permit requirements. The extraterritorial effect provision means Australian nationals and entities operating overseas may also be subject to these restrictions.
