• Supplies of non-lethal military equipment intended solely for humanitarian or protective use, and related technical assistance and training;

On June 19, 2023, the Regulations Implementing the United Nations Resolutions and Imposing Special Economic Measures on Libya were amended to allow the provision, processing or payment of funds, other financial assets or economic resources or the provision of goods and services that are necessary to ensure the timely delivery of urgently needed humanitarian assistance or to support other activities related to basic human needs, if provided by specified groups. These changes are the result of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2664 (2022), which created a carve-out for the delivery of humanitarian assistance in all current UN sanctions regimes that impose asset freezes.

Permits and Certificates

Affected persons can also apply for a certificate to conduct prohibited activities, although these require notification to and/or a decision from the United Nations Security Council or its Committee.

Background

On 26 February 2011, acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1970 (2011) imposing sanctions against Libya in response to the situation in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya involving violence and the use of force against civilians.

The Regulations Implementing the United Nations Resolutions on Libya implement the decisions of the Security Council in Canadian domestic law. Implementation of the travel ban imposed by Resolution 1970 (2011) is ensured in Canada under existing provisions of the .

Since Resolution 1970 did not impose measures against the Libyan Government itself or its institutions and agencies, the Regulations went beyond the sanctions imposed by the United Nations Security Council  by adding "Libya" as a designated entity. In order to do this, the Regulations were enacted under two separate pieces of enabling legislation: the  and the .

Under the , the government may implement whatever measures are necessary to implement decisions of the United Nations Security Council; under the , the government may take certain actions in order to address situations where there has been a call for economic sanctions by an international organization of states, or where there has been a grave breach of international peace and security that has resulted or is likely to result in an international crisis. With the situation in Libya, the Government of Canada wanted to act to implement both the measures decided upon by the United Nations Security Council, as well as to ban transactions with the Libyan government and its institutions and agencies. Regulations were thus created under the authority of both the  and the .

After the fall of the Gadhafi regime, Canada engaged with successive governing bodies in Libya, including the National Transitional Council (NTC), the Government of National Accord (GNA), and its successor Government of National Unity (GNU), which enjoys recognition from the international community as Libya’s sole legitimate government. Canada announced on September 1, 2011, that it was lifting many of its unilateral sanctions in order to support the Libyan people and the new governing authorities. The measures imposed under the authority of the  found in section 8 and 9(b) were repealed on August 31, 2011. In addition, the Special Economic Measures (Libya) Permit Authorization Order was also repealed.

On September 16, 2011, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 2009 (2011), which amended the sanctions in place against Libya. These changes were implemented in Canada in the form of amendments to the existing Regulations.

On March 14, 2013, the United Nations Security Council, acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, adopted Resolution 2095 (2013), which decided that the prior approval or notification of the Committee 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. 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.

On March 19, 2014, the United Nations Security Council, acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, adopted Resolution 2146 (2014), which prohibited port entry, bunkering, and financial services for designated vessels transporting illicit oil from Libya. This prohibition was expanded with the adoption of Resolution 2362 (2017) on June 29, 2017 to apply to any designated vessel loading, transporting, or discharging petroleum, including crude oil – and for the first time – refined petroleum products, illicitly exported or attempted to be exported from Libya. These measures reflected the concern of the international community that the widespread illicit export of Libyan petroleum undermined the Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA) of the time, and posed a threat to the peace, security and stability of Libya.

These changes have been implemented in Canada in the form of amendments to the existing Regulations.
