This Order gives effect in specified Overseas Territories to sanctions imposed on Liberia by the United Nations Security Council, most recently renewed by resolution 2237 (2015) of 2nd September 2015. This Order also reflects the implementation of these sanctions by the European Union in Council Decision (CFSP) 2015/1782 and Council Regulation (EU) 2015/1776, both adopted on 5th October 2015. Council Regulation (EU) 2015/1776 repealed Council Regulation (EC) No. 872/2004 of 29th April 2004. Council Decision (CFSP) 2015/1782 amended Council Common Position 2008/109/CFSP of 12th February 2008. This Order revokes and replaces the Liberia (Restrictive Measures) (Overseas Territories) (Amendment) Order 2012, the Liberia (Restrictive Measures) (Overseas Territories) (Amendment No. 2) Order 2007, the Liberia (Restrictive Measures) (Overseas Territories) (Amendment) Order 2007, the Liberia (Restrictive Measures) (Overseas Territories) (Amendment) Order 2004 and the Liberia (Restrictive Measures) (Overseas Territories) Order 2004. United Nations Security Council resolution 2237 (2015) of 2nd September 2015 renewed the arms embargo against non-governmental persons in Liberia for a further period of nine months from the date of adoption of that resolution and terminated the travel and financial measures set forth in United Nations Security Council resolutions 1532 (2004) of 12th March 2004 and 1521 (2003) of 22nd December 2003. 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.
