Guinea-Bissau

On 18 May 2012 the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) adopted resolution 2048 (2012) imposing sanctions in relation to Guinea-Bissau in response to the seizure by military officers of power from the civilian government on 12 April 2012.

As a consequence, Australian law now prohibits the following conduct:

The entry or transit through Australia of persons listed by the Security Council or by the Committee established pursuant to resolution 2048 (2012).

Migration (United Nations Security Council Resolutions) Regulations 2007
