REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT
(This statement is not part of the Regulations.)
Issues
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC), acting under chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, adopted Resolutions 2146 (2014), 2174 (2014) and 2362 (2017). These Resolutions strengthen and modify sanctions on Libya that had been previously imposed by the UNSC. The implementation into Canadian law of UNSC Resolutions 2146 (2014), 2174 (2014) and 2362 (2017) requires amendments to the Regulations Implementing the United Nations Resolutions on Libya (previously the Regulations Implementing the United Nations Resolutions on Libya and Taking Special Economic Measures).
Background
On February 26, 2011, acting under chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, the UNSC adopted Resolution 1970 imposing sanctions against Libya in response to the violence, use of force against civilians and gross systematic human rights violations by the Qadhafi regime in its efforts to quell the revolution that erupted in Libya on February 17, 2011. These sanctions included a prohibition on the sale, supply or transfer of arms and related material to Libya with exceptions for non-lethal military equipment intended solely for humanitarian or protective use and related technical assistance or training, as approved in advance by the UN Security Council Committee Established Pursuant to Resolution 1970 (2011) Concerning Libya (the Committee). These measures were implemented in Canada with the adoption, on February 27, 2011, of the Regulations Implementing the United Nations Resolutions on Libya and Taking Special Economic Measures (as they were then known), made pursuant to both the United Nations Act and the Special Economic Measures Act.
The United Nations’ (UN) sanctions regime directed at Libya was modified by the adoption of a number of resolutions, including UNSC Resolutions 1973 (2011), 2009 (2011), 2017 (2011) and 2040 (2012) to reflect events on the ground, such as the intensification of the conflict, the establishment of the National Transition Council (NTC) and the NTC’s eventual success over Qadhafi’s forces. Once the NTC was recognized as Libya’s official government, the UNSC eased the sanctions regime to reflect the international community’s resolve to support the new Libyan government in stabilizing the country. Canada also eased its unilateral sanctions against Libya in order to support the Libyan people and Libya’s new governing authorities. The Regulations Implementing the United Nations Resolutions on Libya and Taking Special Economic Measures were amended accordingly on August 31, 2011. On September 16, 2011, UNSC Resolution 2009 amended the sanctions regime so that the supply of arms and related material, including technical assistance, training, financial and other assistance, intended solely for security or disarmament assistance to the Libyan authorities, would be allowed, provided that the Committee was notified in advance and did not oppose the transactions.
On March 14, 2013, the UNSC adopted Resolution 2095, which decided that the prior approval or notification of the Committee would no longer be required for the supply of non-lethal military equipment intended solely for humanitarian or protective use and related technical assistance or training. The UNSC also decided that the 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. These UNSC decisions reflected an improved political and security situation in Libya at that time. Canada amended the Regulations Implementing the United Nations Resolutions on Libya and Taking Special Economic Measures on September 22, 2011, and on September 30, 2013, to account for the changes made to the sanctions regime by the UNSC.
Objectives
The purpose of the Regulations Amending the Regulations Implementing the United Nations Resolutions on Libya is to bring Canada in line with its international legal obligations created by measures taken by the UNSC under chapter VII of the UN Charter, namely the decisions taken by the UNSC in Resolutions 2146 (2014), 2174 (2014) and 2362 (2017). These Resolutions were adopted by the UNSC pursuant to article 41 of chapter VII of the UN Charter and are binding on all member states. As a member state of the UN and pursuant to article 25 of the UN Charter, Canada is legally obligated to implement binding decisions of the UNSC. The implementation of the Resolutions into Canadian law requires amendments to Canada’s Libya sanctions regime.
The regulatory amendments also update language throughout the Regulations Implementing the United Nations Resolutions on Libya to give effect to certain recommendations made by the Standing Joint Committee for the Scrutiny of Regulations (SJCSR), to clarify intent and to ensure consistency across Canada’s economic sanctions regulations. The SJCSR made several recommendations on the common provisions found in almost all of the sanctions regulations made under both the United Nations Act and the Special Economic Measures Act. Three of those provisions were in the Libya Regulations and were amended accordingly:
- Sections 14 and 21 (Mistaken Identity)
- Section 22 (Assisting a Prohibited Activity)
- Section 23 and 23.1 (Duty to Determine)
Description
On March 19, 2014, the UNSC, acting under chapter VII of the UN Charter, adopted Resolution 2146 regarding the illicit export of oil from Libya. The Resolution prohibited port entry, bunkering, and financial services for designated vessels transporting illicit oil from Libya. This reflected the concern of the international community that the widespread illicit export of crude oil undermined the Government of Libya, and posed a threat to the peace, security and stability of Libya. This prohibition was expanded on June 29, 2017, to apply to any designated vessel transporting petroleum illicitly exported from Libya, including crude oil and refined petroleum products, through the adoption of Resolution 2362.
On August 27, 2014, the UNSC also adopted Resolution 2174 which decided that the supply of arms of all types, except for non-lethal military equipment intended for humanitarian, protective, security or disarmament purposes, to Libya must be approved in advance by the Committee. This reflected the concerns of the international community that the deteriorating political and security situation in Libya had resulted in increased violence affecting civilians, and a higher risk of arms proliferation.
The amendments to the Regulations Implementing the United Nations Resolutions on Libya implement the decisions of UNSC Resolutions 2146 (2014), 2174 (2014) and 2362 (2017) not already incorporated in Canadian domestic legislation. More specifically, the amendments
- stipulate that the arms embargo does not apply to the supply of non-lethal military equipment intended solely for security, disarmament, humanitarian or protective use;
- stipulate that arms embargo does not apply to the supply of small arms, light weapons and related material temporarily exported to Libya for the sole use of UN personnel and representatives of the media, as well as humanitarian and development workers and associated personnel, if the Committee was notified in advance of such small arms, light weapons and related material, and in the absence of a negative decision by the Committee;
- prohibit any person in Canada to allow a vessel designated by the Committee to enter a Canadian port, with the exceptions of when such entry is necessary for an inspection, in the case of emergency, or in the case of a return to Libya;
- prohibit the provision of bunkering services for designated vessels, such as the provision of fuel or supplies, with the exception of services and supplies for humanitarian purposes; and
- prohibit any person in Canada or any Canadian outside Canada to engage in any financial transactions related to petroleum from Libya on board designated vessels.
The United Nations Act constitutes the appropriate legislative authority to implement into Canadian law the sanctions mandated by the UNSC. Information concerning the work of the Committee to oversee the relevant sanctions measures is available at

“One-for-One” Rule
These Regulations are carved out from the “One-for-One” Rule, as they implement non-discretionary obligations.
Small business lens
The small business lens does not apply to this proposal, as there are no costs (or insignificant costs) on small business, and small businesses would not be disproportionately affected.
Consultation
Global Affairs Canada drafted the Regulations in consultation with the Department of Justice Canada.
Rationale
The Regulations allow Canada to fulfill its international legal obligations and align its sanctions regime with the resolutions adopted through UNSC Resolutions 2146 (2014), 2174 (2014) and 2362 (2017).
Implementation, enforcement and service standards
Canada’s sanctions regulations are enforced by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Canada Border Services Agency. Every person who contravenes the Regulations is liable, upon conviction, to the punishments set out in section 3 of the United Nations Act (i.e. on summary conviction, to a fine of not more than $100,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than one year, or to both; or on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term of not more than 10 years).
