When the UN Security Council lifts sanctions against a country, Australia must update its domestic laws to match. This regulation formally scraps the 2008 rules that required Australian businesses, banks, and border officials to enforce restrictions against certain people and entities linked to Sierra Leone's civil conflict.\n\n**Who it affects**\n\nAustralian financial institutions, businesses trading with West Africa, and government agencies no longer need to check or enforce these specific Sierra Leone sanctions. For everyone else, this simply cleans up old laws that are no longer needed."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/charter-of-the-united-nations-sanctions-sierra-leone-repeal-regulations-2010","history":"/api/acts/charter-of-the-united-nations-sanctions-sierra-leone-repeal-regulations-2010/history","analysis":"/api/acts/charter-of-the-united-nations-sanctions-sierra-leone-repeal-regulations-2010/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/charter-of-the-united-nations-sanctions-sierra-leone-repeal-regulations-2010/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/charter-of-the-united-nations-sanctions-sierra-leone-repeal-regulations-2010/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/charter-of-the-united-nations-sanctions-sierra-leone-repeal-regulations-2010/documents"}}
