Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation abolishes (repeals) the 1994 migration rules that restricted travel to Australia for people linked to the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

What it does:

Removes the Migration (Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina—United Nations Security Council Resolutions) Regulations 1994
Those old rules likely blocked visas or entry for certain individuals connected to the Bosnian War, in line with UN Security Council sanctions
This is a cleanup measure—scrapping outdated sanctions now that the immediate conflict has ended

Who it affects:

People previously caught by the 1994 travel bans (who can now apply for visas under normal rules)
The Department of Immigration (which no longer needs to enforce these specific restrictions)

Why it matters: It formally ends Australia’s migration-specific sanctions related to the Bosnian conflict, simplifying the Migration Regulations.
