Explanatory note

This Order gives effect in specified Overseas Territories to sanctions in respect of Côte d’Ivoire adopted by the United Nations Security Council in resolutions 1572 (2004), 1643(2005), 1975 (2011) and 2045(2012). The Order reflects implementation of the sanctions by the European Union in Council Decision (EU) 2010/656/CFSP, as amended. The main provisions of the sanctions in respect of Côte d’Ivoire as reflected in this Order are: a prohibition in respect of the direct or indirect sale, supply or transfer to Côte d’Ivoire of arms and related materiel, or equipment which might be used for internal repression and a prohibition on the import of rough diamonds from Côte d’Ivoire; an asset freeze on persons who constitute a threat to the peace and national reconciliation in Côte d’Ivoire and other persons determined to be responsible for or who publicly incite hatred and violence, serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law in Côte d’Ivoire as designated by the UN Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1572 (2004) and a prohibition on making funds and economic resources available to such designated persons. This Order revokes the Ivory Coast (Restrictive Measures)(Overseas Territories) Order 2005 and the Ivory Coast (Restricted Measures)(Overseas Territories)(Amendment) Order 2006.

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.
