INTERNATIONAL WAR CRIMES TRIBUNALS ACT 1995 - SECT 43

                   A person must not:

                     (a)  intentionally contravene an order that a Tribunal makes while sitting in Australia; or

                     (b)  otherwise intentionally hinder a Tribunal in performing its functions while sitting in Australia.

Penalty:  Imprisonment for 2 years.

Note:          Under subsection 4D(1) of the Crimes Act 1914 , this penalty is only a maximum penalty for the offence.  Subsection 4B(2) of that Act allows a court to impose an appropriate fine instead of, or in addition to, a term of imprisonment. If a body corporate is convicted of the offence, subsection 4B(3) of that Act allows a court to impose a fine of an amount not greater than 5 times the maximum fine that the court could impose on an individual convicted of the same offence.
