Trade sanctions
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is authorised, by the Charter of the United Nations, to decide upon the measures which should be taken to maintain or restore international peace and security (Charter Article 39). Measures that do not involve the use of armed force are known as sanctions.
Members of the United Nations are obligated to accept and carry out these measures (Charter Article 25). In Australia, UNSC sanctions are implemented under the Charter of the United Nations Act 1945 (Cth). Persons and entities in Australia must abide by all domestic legislation that implements UNSC sanctions, as must Australian citizens overseas and Australian entities operating overseas.
The Australian Government also imposes autonomous sanctions in response to situations of international concern. Like UNSC sanctions, Australia's autonomous sanctions are enforced by law.
Therefore, Roggenwolf will not license camouflage patterns or provide consultation services to any of the following individuals, entities, or nations:
- Al-Qaida, Taliban.
- Burma.
- Côte d'Ivoire.
- Democratic Republic of Congo.
- Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea).
- Eritrea.
- Fiji.
- Iran.
- Lebanon.
- Liberia.
- Libya.
- Somalia.
- Sudan.
- Syria.
- Zimbabwe.
Additionally, Roggenwolf reserves the right not to license camouflage patterns to any nation, entity, or individual for its own reasons, whether or not UNSC sanctions or Australian autonomous sanctions apply.

The list of nations, groups and individuals that are subject to UNSC sanctions and Australian autonomous sanctions varies from time to time. Whenever Roggenwolf modifies its trade sanctions policy, changes will be posted here.
