On August 5, 2013, the State Department published in the Federal Register a final rule [Public Notice 8409] amending the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to update the defense trade policy regarding Libya to reflect Resolution 2095 adopted by the United Nations Security Council. This rule is effective August 5, 2013.
On March 14, 2013, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 2095 (UNSCR 2095), which further modified the arms embargo against Libya put in place by the adoption in February and March of 2011 of Resolutions 1970 and 1973, respectively, and modified by Resolutions 2009 and 2016, adopted in September and October of 2011, respectively. UNSCR 2095 removed the requirement for member states to notify the Committee of the Security Council concerning Libya (the Committee) of exports of non-lethal military equipment, and the provision of any technical assistance or training, intended solely for security or disarmament assistance to the Libyan government. It also removed the requirement to seek the approval of the Committee for exports of non-lethal military equipment, and related technical assistance or training, for humanitarian and protective use. The Department of State is amending ITAR § 126.1(k) accordingly. |
