The Australian Government has introduced the Migration (Disclosure of Information to Prescribed International Organisations) Instrument 2025, which officially repeals and replaces IMMI 16/068.
This legislative update provides clarity on the disclosure of identifying information by authorised officers under regulation 5.34E of the Migration Regulations 1994.
Key Changes:
- The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia have been removed from the list of prescribed international organisations.
- The International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT) has been added, reflecting its role in continuing the functions and residual responsibilities of the two former tribunals.
- Minor updates have been made to streamline and modernise the language of the instrument for improved clarity and legal precision.
This update aligns the Migration Regulations with the current structure of international judicial bodies and ensures that Australia’s legislative framework remains contemporary and relevant.
