However, this instrument declares North Korea as a country subject to trade sanctions, which means **Australian companies cannot receive these grants for any export activities involving North Korea**.\n\nThis 2019 declaration simply replaces an earlier 2009 version to ensure the sanctions remain legally current. It aligns with Australia's obligations under United Nations sanctions targeting North Korea's nuclear weapons program."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/export-market-development-grants-democratic-people-s-republic-of-korea-sanctions-declaration-2019","history":"/api/acts/export-market-development-grants-democratic-people-s-republic-of-korea-sanctions-declaration-2019/history","analysis":"/api/acts/export-market-development-grants-democratic-people-s-republic-of-korea-sanctions-declaration-2019/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/export-market-development-grants-democratic-people-s-republic-of-korea-sanctions-declaration-2019/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/export-market-development-grants-democratic-people-s-republic-of-korea-sanctions-declaration-2019/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/export-market-development-grants-democratic-people-s-republic-of-korea-sanctions-declaration-2019/documents"}}
