These sanctions restrict the export of dual-use products. The 1991 law, in particular, states that if the country does not renounce the use of chemical weapons and does not allow independent observers within the next three months, then a second round of sanctions will come into force. It also provides for a reduction in the level of diplomatic relations, minimization of foreign trade relations and a ban on the airline (Aeroflot) flying to the United States.
