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 imposed on designated individuals by United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1267 (1999), 1333 (2000), 1390 (2002), and 2253 (2015), which was adopted on 17th December 2015. Resolution 2253 (2015) maintains in force the sanctions first imposed by Resolution 1267 (1999) against Al-Qaida and individuals, groups, undertakings and entities associate to it, but expressly extends the sanctions regime to ISIL (Da’esh). These measures were implemented in the European Union by Council Decision (CFSP) 2016/1693 concerning restrictive measures against ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida and persons, groups, undertaking and entities associated with them (and repealing Common Position 2002/402/CFSP) (“Council Decision 2016/1693”), and Council Regulation (EU) 2016/1686 imposing additional restrictive measures directed against ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida and natural and legal persons, entities or bodies associated with them (“Council Regulation 2016/1686”), both of 20 September 2016. This Order also gives appropriate effect to the European Union’s autonomous sanctions regime adopted under Council Decision 2016/1693 and Council Regulation 2016/1686. The sanctions imposed include an arms embargo, asset freeze and prohibition on the provision of assistance to persons and entities designated by the United Nations Security Council or European Union as associated with ISIL (Da’esh) or Al-Qaida. The Order also makes provision for the Governor to license certain activities in line with exemptions under the UN and EU sanctions regimes. The Order revokes the Al-Qaida (United Nations Measures) (Overseas Territories) Order 2012 (S.I. 2012/1757).

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.
