Explanatory note

This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.

These regulations, which come into force on 5 April 2022, amend the Russia Sanctions Regulations 2022 (the principal regulations).

Regulation 4 ensures that the normal diplomatic functions of an embassy or consular post (whether in New Zealand or in another country) are able to continue in accordance with the Vienna Conventions despite the sanctions in the principal regulations.

Regulation 5 adds the following additional sanctions to the principal regulations:

new names are added, so that the principal regulations apply to more people (regulation 5(1)):
some persons and classes of persons who are already sanctioned by the principal regulations will be subject to further sanctions (regulation 5(2)).

Middle names are recorded for 5 people already named in the regulations, who will now be subject to further sanctions (regulation 5(3) to (7)).

All the additional sanctions fulfil the purpose of the regulations, which is to give effect to the Russia Sanctions Act 2022 by imposing sanctions in response to Russia’s military actions in relation to Ukraine (and in response to any assistance from any other country or person).

Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2019.

Date of notification in Gazette: 4 April 2022.

These regulations are administered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
