Articles 3 to 7 of this Order amend the North Korea (United Nations Sanctions) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/1749), as amended, giving effect to certain aspects of further United Nations sanctions imposed against North Korea by the United Nations Security Council in resolution 2321, adopted on 30th November 2016. In particular, this Order amends the offences related to carriage of goods to and from North Korea to broaden the categories of goods to which the offences apply. It also: a creates a new offence relating to port access for designated vessels where the Committee of the United Nations Security Council established under resolution 1718, adopted on 14th October 2006, requires port access to be denied to those vessels; b empowers the Secretary of State to de-flag United Kingdom flagged designated vessels, when required to do so by the Committee; and c empowers the Secretary of State to direct United Kingdom flagged designated vessels to a port identified by the Committee, and creates an offence of failing to comply with such a direction.
