This Order gives effect in specified Overseas Territories to sanctions imposed on Iraq by United Nations Security Council resolutions 661 (1990) of 6th August 1990, 687 (1991) of 3rd April 1991, 1483 (2003) of 22nd May 2003, 1546 (2004) of 8th June 2004 and 1956 (2010) of 15th December 2010. This Order also reflects the implementation of these sanctions by the European Union in Council Common Position 2003/495/CFSP and Council Regulation 1210/2003, both adopted on 7th July 2003, as amended by Council Decision 2014/484/CFSP and Council Regulation 791/2014, both adopted on 22nd July 2014. This Order revokes and replaces the Iraq (United Nations Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) (Amendment) Order 2012, the Iraq (United Nations Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) (Amendment) (No.2) Order 2004, the Iraq (United Nations Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) (Amendment) Order 2004 and the Iraq (United Nations Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) Order 2003. The sanctions imposed include an arms embargo and an asset freeze against persons designated by the United Nations Sanctions Committee. The Order also contains a prohibition on the import or export of illegally removed Iraqi cultural property in the specified Overseas Territories. The Order 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.
