Explanatory note

This Order, made under the United Nations Act 1946, amends: 1 the Iraq (United Nations Sanctions) (Isle of Man) Order 2000 (the “2000 Order”); and 2 the Iraq (United Nations Sanctions) (Isle of Man) Order 2003 (the “2003 Order”). The 2000 Order, as amended by the 2003 Order, gave effect in the Isle of Man to certain aspects of sanctions imposed against Iraq by the United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1483 of 22nd May 2003. The amendments in this Order have been made to give effect to UNSCR 1518 of 24th November 2003 and 1546 of 8th June 2004. In respect of UNSCR 1518 (2003), article 5 and paragraph 1(a)(v) of part 2 of the Schedule to this Order amend the definition of “Sanctions Committee” in the 2000 Order. The amendment takes account of the fact that the resolution established a new Committee for the purposes of identifying persons for the purposes of certain provisions of the resolutions adopted on 22nd May 2003. The remaining provisions of paragraph 1 of part 2 of the Schedule amend or insert various other definitions in the 2000 Order in consequence of the changes made by this Order and to give effect to guidance issued by the United Nations Security Council Committee established pursuant to UNSCR 661 (1990) on the meaning of terms used in UNSCR 1483 (2003). The remaining provisions in part 2 of the Schedule amend the 2000 Order to make improvements in the operation of that Order. In particular, provision has been made for persons listed at UN level to automatically fall within the Isle of Man sanctions regime without the need for a direction to be given by the Treasury as well as to clarify the powers that the Treasury have to direct that funds are to be frozen. Article 6 of the Order makes transitional provisions in respect of directions given by the Treasury, and funds covered by notices published, prior to the coming into force of this Order. In addition, the Order revokes various superseded provisions of the 2003 Order in light of UNSCR 1518 (2003). UNSCR 1546 (2004) in particular lifts the privileges and immunities for the Development Fund for Iraq and for proceeds from the sale of petroleum products, with respect to any legal proceedings or any resulting final judgment arising out of a contractual obligation entered into by Iraq after 30 June 2004. This Order amends the 2003 Order to give effect to this amendment and updates the definition of “restricted goods”.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
