Canada Implements Export and Financial Sanctions on Burma
January 2008
Canada has released the implementation to the Special Economic Measures (Burma) Regulations applying sanctions against Burma.
The main measures taken by Canada prohibit:
- The export from Canada to Burma of any goods, excepting only the export of humanitarian goods
- The export of technical data
- The provision of financial services to Burma
Canada implemented the new sanctions in light of resolutions by both the United Nations Commission on Human Rights and the General Assembly who condemned the human right violations in Burma at this time.
