Advise whether a proposed supply is prohibited under Australian sanctions
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- From the parties, goods, services, destination, vessel and payment path the lawyer lists, extract a table of names and descriptions and set beside each one any Consolidated List entry or sanctions-framework measure the lawyer has opened. Do not say whether the supply is prohibited, whether an asset must be frozen, or whether a permit should be sought. Do not draft the advice or a permit application.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides whether the activity is prohibited under the Charter of the United Nations Act 1945, the Autonomous Sanctions Act 2011 or the regulations, whether an asset must be frozen and reported, and whether to apply to the Minister for Foreign Affairs for a permit. The lawyer writes the advice.

Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | Supporting preparation only. From the parties, goods, services, destination, vessel and payment path the lawyer lists, extract a table of names and descriptions and set beside each one any Consolidated List entry or sanctions-framework measure the lawyer has opened. Do not say whether the supply is prohibited, whether an asset must be frozen, or whether a permit should be sought. Do not draft the advice or a permit application. The tool writes nothing into the document. Substantive advice, judgement and any restricted content remain with the responsible human. |
| Lawyer | Perform the substantive analysis and decisions. Independently check any permitted supporting work and approve the exact output for its intended use. |
Checklist
- Re-run the names against the Consolidated List file dated the day of the advice, including aliases, and do not rely on a list from another country.
- Open the sanctions framework for the country or theme, not only the Consolidated List, and check goods, services and commercial-activity prohibitions.
- If a possible asset is held, stop the dealing and follow the freeze and notification steps before any further supply.
- Confirm the advice states the date of the list and the framework pages it uses, and that the tool has not written any sentence of the advice.
