Australia will implement the UN resolution 1907

Eritrea

On 23 December 2009 the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) adopted resolution 1907, imposing sanctions against Eritrea in response to the ongoing border dispute between Djibouti and Eritrea, as well as Eritrea’s support to armed groups destabilising and undermining peace and reconciliation in Somalia, which the UNSC determined constituted a threat to international peace and security.

As a consequence, Australian law now prohibits the following conduct:

1. The supply, sale or transfer to Eritrea of arms and related materiel

2. The procurement of arms or related materiel from Eritrea

3. The provision of technical assistance or training, financial or other assistance to Eritrea, related to

(a) military activities or
(b) the provision, manufacture, maintenance or use of arms or related materiel

4. The procurement of technical assistance or training, financial or other assistance from Eritrea or a person or entity in Eritrea, related to

(a) military activities or
(b) to the provision, manufacture, maintenance or use of arms and related materiel

5. The supply of arms and related materiel to a person or entity listed by the Security Council or the Committee established pursuant to resolution 751 (1992) (“the Committee”) (no listings as yet)

6. The provision of technical assistance, training, or financial services to a person or entity listed by the Security Council or the Committee (no listings as yet)

7. The use or dealing with the assets of, and the making available of assets to, a person or entity listed by the Security Council or the Committee (no listings as yet) other than as authorised by a permit issued by the Minister for Foreign Affairs.

8. The entry or transit through Australia of persons listed by the Security Council or the Committee (no listings as yet).

Contravention of a UN sanction enforcement law carries severe penalties and is a strict liability offence for bodies corporate. See How are UN sanctions implemented in Australia? for further information.

    Good News from Astralia. Just few days ago there was a demonstration conducted by a handful of “strange and sychopant” supporters of the oppressive, terrorist and dictatorial regime of Isaias. The outcome of the demonstration against the JUST UN Sanctions are:
    1. Australia will implement the UN resolution 1907
    2. US citizens advised not to ntravel to Eritrea
    3. EU will implement the UN resolution 1907
    What we need now is:
    1. Tighten the rope on the head of isias and his cronie and to be taken to ICC (International criminal Court).
    2. More sanction to be added soon against the PFDJ and isaias
    3. The current sanctions to be implemented fully
    4. To report of the PFDJ supporters’ activities e.g. money transfer etc..
    The beginning of the end of the one-man brutal and illegal regime is nearer than most of us expect and the moribond regime soon will be fighting for oxygen for survival.
    Victory the the oppresses people of Eritrea
