It removes three earlier regulations (from 1993, 1994 and 1995) that had banned Australian trade and financial dealings with Yugoslavia under United Nations Security Council resolutions.\n\n**Who it affects**\n\nAustralian businesses, banks and individuals who were previously prohibited from trading with or transferring funds to Yugoslavia. They can now resume normal commercial activities with the region.\n\n**Why it matters**\n\nThis ends Australia's enforcement of UN sanctions imposed during the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s. It reflects the improved political situation following the 1995 Dayton Peace Accords, allowing legal trade and investment to restart."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/charter-of-the-united-nations-sanctions-yugoslavia-regulations-repeal","history":"/api/acts/charter-of-the-united-nations-sanctions-yugoslavia-regulations-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/charter-of-the-united-nations-sanctions-yugoslavia-regulations-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/charter-of-the-united-nations-sanctions-yugoslavia-regulations-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/charter-of-the-united-nations-sanctions-yugoslavia-regulations-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/charter-of-the-united-nations-sanctions-yugoslavia-regulations-repeal/documents"}}
