CHARTER OF THE UNITED NATIONS LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (SANCTIONS--2014 MEASURES NO. 1) REGULATION 2014 (SLI NO 123 OF 2014)
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Select Legislative Instrument No. 123, 2014
Issued by the Authority of the Minister for Foreign Affairs
Charter of the United Nations Act 1945
Charter of the United Nations Legislation Amendment (Sanctions - 2014 Measures No. 1) Regulation 2014
Section 6 of the Charter of the United Nations Act 1945 (the Act) provides that the Governor-General may make regulations to give effect to decisions of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations (the Charter) that Australia is required to carry out under Article 25 of the Charter and in so far as those decisions require Australia to apply measures not involving the use of armed force.
The Charter of the United Nations Legislation Amendment (Sanctions--2014 Measures No. 1) Regulation 2014 (the Amendment Regulation) amends the Charter of the United Nations (Sanctions - Côte d'Ivoire) Regulations 2008 (the Côte d'Ivoire Regulations); the Charter of the United Nations (Sanctions - Democratic Republic of the Congo) Regulations 2008 (the DRC Regulations); the Charter of the United Nations (Sanctions - Liberia) Regulations 2008 (the Liberia Regulations); the Charter of the United Nations (Sanctions--Libyan Arab Jamahiriya) Regulations 2011 (the Libya Regulations) and the Charter of the United Nations (Sanctions - Somalia) Regulations 2008 (the Somalia Regulations). The Amendment Regulation implements recent decisions of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) imposing new sanctions and modifying existing sanctions whilst simplifying and standardising the regulations.
The Côte d'Ivoire Regulations give effect in Australia to sanctions obligations arising from UNSC resolution 1572 (2004) and its successors. On 29 April 2014, the UNSC adopted resolution 2153 terminating sanctions preventing the procurement of rough diamonds from Cote d'Ivoire and modifying the arms embargo to exclude non-lethal materiel. The Regulation Amendment implements resolution 2153 by amending the Côte d'Ivoire Regulations to: remove the prohibition on the procurement of rough diamonds; amend the definition of arms or related to materiel to exclude non-lethal materiel such as body armour, handcuffs and riot protection shields which can now be freely supplied to Cote d'Ivoire; exempt from the arms embargo supplies for the support of or use by United Nations Peacekeeping operations; and remove a number of notification requirements.
The DRC Regulations give effect in Australia to sanctions obligations arising from UNSC resolution 1493 (2003) and its successors. Resolution 2136 (2014) was adopted by the UNSC on 30 January 2014. The Regulation Amendment implements paragraph 1 of that resolution by amending the DRC Regulations to exempt from the arms embargo the supply of arms or related materiel, as well as assistance, advice or training, intended solely for the support of or use by the African Union Regional Task Force.
The Liberia Regulations give effect in Australia to sanctions obligations arising from UNSC resolution 1521 (2003) and its successors. Resolution 2128 (2013) adopted by the UNSC on 10 December 2013 modified the notification requirements for the arms embargo and requires amendments to the Liberia Regulations to affect these changes. The Regulation Amendment implements resolution 2128 by amending the Liberia Regulations to: remove the requirement for States to notify the UNSC Liberia Sanctions Committee in relation to "non-lethal materials and associated training"; and, require notification to the Committee five days in advance of supplies of lethal arms or related materiel, or the provision of the specified associated services, for military or other related security sector activities for the Government of Liberia.
The Libya Regulations give effect in Australia to sanctions obligations arising from UNSC resolution 1970 (2011) and its successors. Resolution 2146 (2014) adopted on 19 March 2014 imposes measures in relation to vessels illicitly exporting crude oil from Libya. The Regulation Amendment implements resolution 2146 by amending the Libya Regulations to prohibit persons and entities from providing bunkering or other services to designated vessels and engaging in financial transactions related to crude oil from Libya aboard designated vessels.
The Somalia Regulations give effect in Australia to sanctions obligations arising from UNSC resolution 751 (1992) and its successors. Resolution 2142 (2014) renews the partial lifting of the arms embargo for the purpose of the development of the Security Forces of the Federal Government of Somalia. The Regulation Amendment implements that resolution by amending the Somalia Regulations to provide that at least five days' notice is given to the UNSC Somalia Sanctions Committee in advance of any deliveries of weapons, ammunition or military equipment or the provision of advice, assistance or training to Somalia's Security Forces.
Further to implementing the abovementioned decisions of the UNSC, the Amendment Regulation simplifies and standardises provisions across the five sanctions regimes in order to improve the readability of the regulations.
In respect of each of the five regulations, the Amendment Regulation provides that strict liability will apply to the existence or otherwise of a permit in relation an offence under section 27 of the Act (Contravening a UN sanction enforcement law). For an individual, strict liability will continue not to apply to any other element of the offence. The purpose of these provisions is to prevent a spurious defence that a statement of the Minister could be taken as de facto authorisation to engage in conduct that is prohibited under the Act.
In respect of each of the five regulations the Amendment Regulation contains provisions which place an evidential burden on the defendant to a charge of contravening a UN sanction enforcement law under section 27 of the Act. Where a permit issued by a foreign country is relied upon as authorisation to make a sanctioned supply, perform a sanctioned service or make available or deal with an asset, a defendant has the evidential burden of proving a permit was granted by the foreign country. The purpose of these provisions is to shift the burden to the party who is best placed to adduce the evidence of the permit.
In respect of each of the five regulations the Amendment Regulation contains provisions which incorporate by reference the Guidelines issued by their relevant UNSC sanctions committees. Guidelines issued by UNSC sanctions committees describe the procedures for listing, de-listing, granting humanitarian exemptions and making notifications to the committee. At the time of writing the guidelines were available at www.un.org. Section 6(3) of the Charter of the United Nations Act 1945 provides that regulations made for the purposes of giving effect to decisions of the UNSC may make provision in relation to a matter by applying, adopting or incorporating any matter contained in an instrument or other writing as in force or existing from time to time despite subsection 14(2) of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003.
No public consultation was undertaken in relation to the Amendment Regulation, as it implements Australia's international legal obligations arising from decisions of the UNSC. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade conducts regular outreach to the Australian business community to explain Australian sanctions laws implementing UNSC sanctions.
Resolutions 2136, 2128, 2146 and 2142 were adopted under Article 41 of Chapter VII of the Charter and the measures are binding on Australia pursuant to Article 25 of that Charter. The relevant UNSC resolutions can be found on the UN website (www.un.org).
Details of the Amendment Regulation are set out in the Attachment.
Statement of Compatibility with Human Rights
Prepared in accordance with Part 3 of the Human Rights (Parliamentary Scrutiny) Act 2011
Charter of the United Nations Legislation Amendment (Sanctions - 2014 Measures No. 1) Regulation 2014
The Charter of the United Nations Legislation Amendment (Sanctions - 2014 Measures No. 1) Regulation 2014 (the Amendment Regulation) is compatible with the human rights and freedoms recognised or declared in the international instruments listed in section 3 of the Human Rights (Parliamentary Scrutiny) Act 2011.
The purpose of the Amendment Regulation is to amend the Charter of the United Nations (Sanctions - Côte d'Ivoire) Regulations 2008 (the Côte d'Ivoire Regulations); the Charter of the United Nations (Sanctions - Democratic Republic of the Congo) Regulations 2008 (the DRC Regulations); the Charter of the United Nations (Sanctions - Liberia) Regulations 2008 (the Liberia Regulations); the Charter of the United Nations (Sanctions--Libyan Arab Jamahiriya) Regulations 2011 (the Libya Regulations) and the Charter of the United Nations (Sanctions - Somalia) Regulations 2008 (the Somalia Regulations) to implement decisions of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) imposing new sanctions and modifying existing sanctions whilst also simplifying and standardising the regulations.
The Amendment Regulation amends the Côte d'Ivoire Regulations, implementing decisions of the UNSC in resolution 2153 (2014) to: terminate sanctions preventing the procurement of rough diamonds from Cote d'Ivoire; modify the arms embargo to exclude non-lethal materiel such as body armour, handcuffs and riot protection shields: and, exclude from the arms embargo supplies transiting through Cote d'Ivoire intended for the support of or to be used by United Nations Peacekeeping operations.
The Amendment Regulation amends the DRC Regulations, implementing the decision of the UNSC in resolution 2136 (2014) to exempt from the existing arms embargo the supply of arms or related materiel, as well as assistance, advice or training, intended solely for the support of or use by the African Union Regional Task Force.
The Amendment Regulation amends the Liberia Regulations to implement paragraph 2(b) of resolution 2128 (2013) by: removing the requirement for the Minister to notify the UNSC Liberia Sanctions Committee in relation to "non-lethal materials and associated training"; and, requiring notification to the Committee five days in advance of supplies of lethal arms or related materiel, or the provision of the specified associated services, to military or other related security sector activities for the Government of Liberia.
The Amendment Regulation amends the Libya Regulations, implementing decisions of the UNSC in resolution 2146 (2014) imposing measures in relation to vessels illicitly exporting crude oil from Libya. These measures prohibit persons and entities from providing bunkering or other services to vessels designated by the UNSC Libya Sanctions Committee established under paragraph 24 of resolution 1970 (2011), or engaging in financial transactions related to crude oil from Libya aboard designated vessels.
The Amendment Regulation amends the Somalia Regulations, implementing the decision of the UNSC in resolution 2142 (2014) to renew the partial lifting of the arms embargo for the purpose of the development of the Security Forces of the Federal Government of Somalia. The Amendment Regulation gives effect to paragraph 4 of Resolution 2142 which requires States to give at least 5 days' notice to the UNSC Somalia Sanctions Committee in advance of any deliveries of weapons, ammunition or military equipment or the provision of advice, assistance or training to Somali's Security Forces.
The Amendment Regulation protects human rights by ensuring that persons and entities that violate the arms embargo, commit violations of international humanitarian or human rights law or other atrocities, or violate other measures imposed by UNSC resolutions will be subject to the UNSC sanctions measures.
The Amendment Regulation also engages human rights to the extent that it provides for supplies of protective clothing and equipment to be supplied to UN and humanitarian personnel in peacekeeping operations.
The Amendment Regulation provides that the Minister for Foreign Affairs (the Minister) may grant a person a permit authorising the making available of an asset to a person or entity that would otherwise be prohibited or authorising the use of, or dealing with, a controlled asset that would otherwise be prohibited under the regulations. These exemptions, which implement decisions of the UNSC, allow the making available of an asset or the use or dealing with a controlled asset where it is required for the provision of a basic expense, a legally required or contractual payment or extraordinary expense dealing. These permissible dealings are defined in the Charter of the United Nations (Dealing with Assets Regulations) 2008.
In respect of each of the five regulations, the Amendment Regulation provides that strict liability will apply to the existence or otherwise of a permit in relation an offence under section 27 of the Act (Contravening a UN sanction enforcement law). For an individual, strict liability will continue not to apply to any other element of the offence. The purpose of these provisions is to prevent a spurious defence that a statement of the Minister could be taken as de facto authorisation to engage in conduct that is prohibited under the Act. As only one element of each of the offences creates strict liability the Amendment Regulation does not interfere with the presumption of innocence.
