This Order, made under section 1 of the United Nations Act 1946, gives effect in the Channel Islands to Resolution 1636 (2005) adopted by the Security Council of the United Nations on 31st October 2005. The Security Council has decided that all states are to take certain measures against individuals suspected of an involvement in the terrorist bombing in Beirut, Lebanon, on 14th February 2005. A Committee of the Security Council, established under the Security Council Resolution, will register the details of the individuals to which the measures are to apply. The measures include the freezing of funds, financial assets and economic resources of such individuals and ensuring that any funds, financial assets and economic resources are not made available to them. Article 3 prohibits any dealing with funds, financial assets and economic resources of designated persons, and makes it a criminal offence to contravene this prohibition. Article 4 prohibits making funds, financial assets and economic resources available to designated persons, and makes it a criminal offence to contravene this prohibition. Article 6 makes it a criminal offence to circumvent the prohibitions or to facilitate the commission of an offence relating to a prohibition. Article 7 gives the relevant authority power to direct that a person suspected of being owned or controlled by a designated person or of acting on behalf of or at the direction of a designated person is to be treated for the purposes of the prohibitions and offences as if he were a designated person. It also creates an appeal process in respect of any such direction. Article 8 provides a licensing procedure to enable certain acts to be exempted from the prohibitions. The Schedule makes provisions about information and evidence.

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.
