Australia's autonomous sanctions: Former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
From 4 June 1992, Australia has implemented targeted autonomous sanctions against individuals associated with the former Milosevic regime in the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. These sanctions target individuals indicted or suspected of war crimes during the Balkan wars in the early 1990s.
As a consequence, Australian law currently prohibits:
1. The use or dealing with the assets of, and the making available of assets to, a person or entity designated by the Minister for Foreign Affairs other than as authorised by a permit issued by the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
