PART 746--EMBARGOES AND OTHER SPECIAL CONTROLS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 746.8  Rwanda.

    (a) Introduction. In addition to the controls on Rwanda reflected on 
the Country Chart in Supplement 1 to part 738 of the EAR, there are 
special controls on items that fall within the scope of a United Nations 
Security Council arms embargo.
    (b) License requirements. (1) Under Executive Order 12918 of May 26, 
1994, and in conformity with United Nations Security Council (UNSC) 
Resolution 918 of May 17, 1994, an embargo applies to the sale or supply 
to Rwanda of arms and related materiel of all types and regardless of 
origin, including weapons and ammunition, military vehicles and 
equipment, paramilitary police equipment, and spare parts for such 
items. You will therefore need a license for the sale, supply or export 
to Rwanda of embargoed items, as listed in paragraph (b)(1)(i) and (ii) 
of this section, from the territory of the United States by any person. 
You will also need a license for the export, reexport, sale or supply to 
Rwanda of such items by any United States person in any foreign country 
or other location. (Reexport controls imposed by this embargo apply only 
to reexports by U.S. persons.) You will also need a license for the use 
of any U.S.-registered aircraft or vessel to supply or transport to 
Rwanda any such items. These requirements apply to embargoed items, 
regardless of origin.
    (i) Crime Control and Detection Equipment as identified on the CCL 
under CC Columns No. 1, 2 or 3 in the Country Chart column of the 
``License Requirements'' section of the applicable ECCN.
    (ii) Items described by any ECCN ending in ``018'', and items 
described by ECCNs 0A978; 0A979; 0A982; 0A984; 0A986; 0A988; 0B986; 
0E982; 1A005; 5A980; 6A002.a.1, a.2, a.3, and .c; 6A003.b.3 and b.4; 
6E001; 6E002; and 9A991.a.
    (2) This embargo became effective at 11:59 p.m. EDT on May 26, 1994.
    (3) Definitions. For the purposes of this section, the term:
    (i) Person means a natural person as well as a corporation, business 
association, partnership, society, trust, or any other entity, 
organization or group, including governmental entities; and
    (ii) United States person means any citizen or national of the 
United States, any lawful permanent resident of the United States, or 
any corporation, business association, partnership, society, trust, or 
any other entity, organization or group, including governmental 
entities, organized under the laws of the United States (including 
foreign branches).
    (c) Licensing policy. Applications for export or reexport of all 
items listed in paragraphs (b)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section are 
subject to a general policy of denial. Consistent with United Nations 
Security Council Resolution 918 and the United Nations Participation 
Act, this embargo is effective notwithstanding the existence of any 
rights or obligations conferred or imposed by any international 
agreement or any contract entered into or any license or permit granted 
prior to that date, except to the extent provided in regulations, 
orders, directives or licenses that may be issued in the future under 
Executive Order 12918 or under the EAR.
    (d) Related controls. The Department of State, Office of Defense 
Trade Controls, maintains controls on arms and military equipment under 
the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR parts 120 through 
130).
