Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

These regulations remove (repeal) earlier Australian sanctions laws that applied to the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

What this does:

Cancels two previous sets of regulations (from 1994 and 1996) that had imposed legal restrictions on activities related to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Any trade bans, asset freezes, or other sanctions that existed under those specific regulations no longer apply.

Why it matters: The repealed regulations were made under the Charter of the United Nations Act 1945, which gives effect to United Nations Security Council decisions in Australian law. By repealing them, Australia is formally ending its domestic enforcement of specific UN sanctions that were previously imposed on Bosnia and Herzegovina (reflecting the international community’s decision to lift those sanctions following the stabilisation of the region after the Bosnian War).
