See the submission from Argentina. The general national regulations cover goods such as chemical substances or weapons that are subject to a prohibition of a non -economic nature in the absence of prior authorizations. See the submission from Canada. There are no explicit provisions in Canadian law that specifically address trade in items specifically designed for (a) capital punishment and (b) torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Canada maintains significant controls on the import and export of certain weapons through the Export and Import Permits Act and the Customs Tariff Act. The Export and Import Permits Act contains a reference to the Criminal Code for the definition of what constitutes prohibited weapons and devices. However, a prohibited weapon or device is not necessarily specifically designed to inflict torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. See the submission from Mongolia. Mongolia adopted Resolution No. 5 of 1998 approving lists of goods for which cross-border movement is prohibited and goods subject to non-tariff restrictions. There are also specific provisions in other national laws prohibiting or restricting the import and export of goods that are not included in the resolution, such as the Law on the Police Service of 2017 and the Law on Medicines and Medical Devices of 2010. See the submission from New Zealand. The Strategic Goods List covers the export of goods comprising conventional arms or their related parts or ammunition and the export of goods broadly relevant to the subject matter, such as technology that could be used to facilitate arrest. The possibility of any items on the Strategic Goods List being used to perpetrate human rights abuses, such as torture, is a specific factor to be taken into account in the risk assessment that is required to be conducted before the authorization of any export of such items.
