Review of Regulations Implementing the United Nations Resolutions on Taliban, ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida - SOR/99-444
Title of the statutory instrument
Enabling Act
Rationale
This regulation is being reviewed to ensure it continues to accurately implement the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 1267 and its successor resolutions.
Narrative
As a Member State of the United Nations (UN), and pursuant to article 25 of the Charter of the United Nations, Canada is legally obligated to implement binding decisions of the UNSC taken under Chapter VII. The UNSC passes resolutions, developed by specific Committees, to impose UN sanctions measures. Global Affairs Canada coordinates with the Department of Justice to implement these resolutions into domestic law through the development of regulations under the United Nations Act.
This instrument may be amended to add or correct references to UNSC resolutions, and to apply the measures they contain. The regulations may also be reviewed on a responsive basis to make miscellaneous or administrative amendments to address recommendations by the Standing Joint Committee on the Scrutiny of Regulations.
