Explanatory note

This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.

These regulations amend and rename the United Nations Sanctions (Al-Qaida and Taliban) Regulations 2007 (the principal regulations). These regulations come into force on 11 April 2019.

These regulations give effect (in part) to the following United Nations Security Council resolutions:

1988 (2011), adopted under the United Nations Charter on 17 June 2011 (resolution 1988):
1989 (2011), adopted under the United Nations Charter on 17 June 2011 (resolution 1989):
2253 (2015), adopted under the United Nations Charter on 17 December 2015 (resolution 2253):
2255 (2015), adopted under the United Nations Charter on 21 December 2015 (resolution 2255).

Resolution 2253 extended the sanctions set out in the earlier resolutions to the Al-Qaida splinter group known as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL (Da’esh)). Regulation 5 amends the title of the principal regulations, and regulation 6 amends various definitions in the principal regulations to reflect the fact that the sanctions now apply to ISIL (Da’esh).

Resolution 2253 and resolution 2255 amended the sanction prohibiting New Zealanders from providing technical advice, assistance, or training related to miliary activities. Regulation 9 amends regulation 12 of the principal regulations to reflect this change.

Resolution 1988 and resolution 1989 created an exception to the travel ban sanction, allowing entry into New Zealand or transit through New Zealand when entry or transit is necessary for the fulfilment of a judicial process or where the committee responsible for the administration of the relevant resolutions determines that entry or transit is justified. Regulation 10 amends regulation 13 of the principal regulations to provide for that exception.

Resolution 1988 and resolution 1989 also provided that the travel ban sanction did not oblige a State to deny entry or require departure of any of its nationals. Regulation 10 amends regulation 13 of the principal regulations to provide for that exception.

Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2012.

Date of notification in Gazette: 14 March 2019.
