On October 9, 2013, the Canada Gazette published the Regulations Amending the Regulations Implementing the United Nations Resolutions on Libya (SOR/2013-160 September 30, 2013), the purpose of which is to bring Canada in line with its international legal obligations created by measures taken by the UN Security Council (UNSC) under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, namely the decisions taken by the UNSC in Resolution 2095 (2013). These Regulations will be tabled before Parliament as required by section 4 of the United Nations Act.
The following will be added as a new paragraph under section 17 of the Regulations Implementing the United Nations Resolutions on Libya in order to bring the Regulations in line with Resolution 2095 (2013): “supplies of non-lethal military equipment intended solely for security or disarmament assistance to the Government of Libya, and related technical assistance, training and financial assistance.” In Resolution 2095 (2013), the UNSC decided that the prior approval or notification of the Committee established pursuant to Resolution 1970 (2011) would no longer be required for supplies of non-lethal military equipment intended solely for humanitarian or protective use and related technical assistance or training. In the same Resolution, the UNSC also decided that prior approval or notification of the Committee would no longer be required for the provision of technical assistance, training or financial assistance intended solely for security or disarmament assistance to the Libyan government. |
