Exports and Reexports to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia: Lifting of UN Arms Embargo-Based Controls; Clarification of UN Arms Embargo-Based Controls on Rwanda

Краткое содержание

This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by removing the special controls on the export and reexport of arms- related items imposed on July 14, 1998 on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) (FRY). Consequently, arms embargo- based licensing requirements for exports and reexports of certain items subject to the EAR (e.g., water cannon) to the FRY are removed, and a case-by-case license review policy is reinstated for the export and reexport of items controlled for regional stability and crime control reasons. This rule is consistent with United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 1367 of September 10, 2001, which terminated the international arms embargo against the FRY mandated by UNSC Resolution 1160 of March 3, 1998. This rule also makes a minor clarification to the arms embargo-based controls in place with respect to Rwanda pursuant to UNSC Resolution 918 of May 17, 1994.
