United Nations (Financial Prohibitions, Arms Embargo and Travel Ban) Sanctions Act 2019
Enacted by the Parliament of Mauritius, this Act establishes a comprehensive legal framework to implement targeted United Nations Security Council sanctions across the jurisdiction. It mandates financial prohibitions, including freezing orders on designated and listed parties' funds and economic resources, while simultaneously enforcing arms embargoes and travel bans. The legislation creates a National Sanctions Committee and Secretariat to designate parties, manage delisting requests, enforce reporting obligations by financial institutions, and coordinate cross-border compliance with UN resolutions.
