AUTONOMOUS SANCTIONS AMENDMENT (IRAN) REGULATIONS 2023 (F2023L00993)

Explanatory Statement

Issued by the Authority of the Minister for Foreign Affairs

Autonomous Sanctions Regulations 2011

Autonomous Sanctions Amendment (Iran) Regulations 2023

Autonomous sanctions are measures not involving the use of armed force which a government imposes as a matter of foreign policy--as opposed to an international obligation under a United Nations Security Council decision--in response to situations of international concern. They are a discretionary tool which the Government can apply, alone or with
like-minded countries where appropriate, to address egregious situations of international concern.

Section 10 of the Autonomous Sanctions Act 2011 (the Act) enables the Governor-General to make regulations applying sanctions. Paragraph 10(1)(a) of the Act provides that the Autonomous Sanctions Regulations 2011 (the Regulations)may make provision relating to the proscription of persons or entities for specified purposes or more generally.

When considering whether to apply autonomous sanctions, the Government considers Australia's national interest, including bilateral, regional and multilateral equities, and the impact of sanctions on Australia's economic, security or other interests.

Autonomous sanctions differ from United Nations Security Council sanctions which the United Nations Security Council imposes and which all United Nations Member States, including Australia, are obliged to implement as a matter of international law.

The Autonomous Sanctions Regulations 2011 (the Regulations) enable, among other things, the Minister for Foreign Affairs (the Minister) to designate a person or entity for targeted financial sanctions, and declare a person for a travel ban, if the Minister is satisfied that the person or entity meets the criteria specified in regulation 6 of the Regulations. Designations and declarations are hereafter collectively referred to as 'listings'. The Regulations provide that the Minister must make listings by legislative instrument.

The purpose of the Autonomous Sanctions Amendment (Iran) Regulations 2023 (the Amendment Regulations) is to introduce new listing criteria under the existing autonomous sanctions regime in relation to Iran in response to the general oppression of the Iranian population, in particular women and girls, and the undermining of good governance and the rule of law. The criteria also allows the listing of Iranian persons and entities, or persons and entities backed by Iran, engaging in malign activities which undermine the sovereignty or territorial integrity of a country other than Iran.

Schedule 1 of this instrument amends the Regulations to expand the existing Iran listing criteria in item 4 of the table in regulation 6 to enable the Foreign Minister to list persons and entities for targeted financial sanctions and/or travel bans if satisfied that:

* A person or entity is engaging in, is responsible for or is complicit in, or has engaged in, been responsible for or been complicit in, any of the following:

(i) the oppression of women and girls in Iran;

(ii) the general oppression of people in Iran;

(iii) undermining good governance or the rule of law in Iran. (paragraph (c) of table item 4 in regulation 6)

* A person or entity that the Minister is satisfied is assisting, or has assisted, Iran to threaten or undermine the sovereignty or territorial integrity of another country. (paragraph (d) of item 4 in regulation 6)
