Charter of the United Nations (Sanctions — Sudan) Regulations 2008

The Charter of the United Nations (Sanctions — Sudan) Regulations 2008 establish a comprehensive sanctions regime implementing UN Security Council resolutions targeting Sudan. The regulations create prohibitions on exporting sanctioned goods, making sanctioned supplies, providing sanctioned services, and dealings with designated persons or entities and sanctions controlled assets. Part 2 establishes the enforcement mechanisms including prohibitions (sections 8, 10, 12, 13) and permit pathways (sections 9, 11, 14) for authorized activities. Part 3 provides for ministerial delegations.

Affected parties including exporters, manufacturers, service providers, and financial institutions must conduct thorough due diligence on Sudan-related transactions and counterparties. Any person or entity dealing with Sudan-controlled assets or designated parties without a valid permit may face criminal penalties under the Charter of the United Nations Act 1945. Companies should update compliance programs to incorporate Sudan sanctions screening and maintain records of permit applications.
