Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
This Order, made under the International Criminal Court Act 2001, extends provisions of the Act, with modifications, to the overseas territories specified in Annex 2. Certain provisions of the 2001 Act are omitted as they are not relevant to overseas territories or there is no intention that the provisions be applied there (for example, those relating to enforcement of sentences of imprisonment in Part 4 of the Act). This will enable the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, done at Rome on 17 July 1998, to be extended to the Overseas Territories listed in Annex 2 to this order. No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been produced in respect of this Order because it applies exclusively in the Overseas Territories concerned.

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.
