Key Element in implementation: Legal Framework
Type of sanction: Arms

• Ensure existing legislation is adequate to implement the full range of measures (e.g. export and transit restrictions) that may be imposed by a SC resolution.
• Use the Interlaken Model Law to implement the embargo through national measures (see "financial").
• Whether a model law or sector-specific approach is taken, basic elements of legislation are: a list of prohibited goods; catch-all clauses for goods not covered by national lists; authority to seize shipments and freeze assets.
• Ensure that legal capacity enables the registration, licensing and monitoring of arms brokers, including mandatory authentication of end-user certificates.
• Ensure that legal capacity enables the seizure of prohibited goods and the proceeds from illegal deliveries.
