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 gives effect in specified Overseas Territories to sanctions relating to Yemen imposed by United Nations Security Council resolutions 2140 (2014) of 26th February 2014, 2204 (2015) of 24th February 2015 and 2216 (2015) of 14th April 2015. This Order also reflects the implementation of these sanctions by the European Union in Council Decision 2014/932/CFSP adopted on 18th December 2014 and Council Regulation 1352/2014 adopted on 18th December 2014. The sanctions imposed by United Nations Security Council resolutions 2140 (2014) and 2204 (2015) include an asset freeze and prohibition on the provision of assistance to persons and entities designated by the United Nations Security Council as persons engaging in or providing support for acts that threaten the peace, security or stability of Yemen or individuals or entities acting on their behalf or at their direction. They also include a travel ban in respect of designated individuals. Subsequently, United Nations Security Council resolution 2216 (2015) added an arms embargo in relation to designated individuals and entities and those in Yemen acting on their behalf or at their direction. Accordingly, this order revokes and replaces the Yemen (Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) Order 2015. This Order also makes provision for the Governor to license certain activities in line with exemptions under the sanctions regime.

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.
