Letter to the Clerk of the Committee from
the Parliamentary Relations and Devolution Department, Foreign
and Commonwealth Office, 9 March 2004
ORDERS UNDER
THE UN ACT
The Government, in its response to the Committee's
1999 report on Sierra Leone, undertook to report Orders made under
the United Nations Act of 1946 to the Committee when they have
been made by Her Majesty in Council. I enclose two Orders[2]made
under the UN Act on 11 February 2004 and laid before Parliament
on 12 February. The Orders implement a resolution of the United
Nations Security Council (UNSCR 1521 (2003)) requiring States
to impose certain sanctions, and are as follows:
The Liberia (United Nations Sanctions) Order
2004 (SI 2004/348).
The Liberia (Restrictive Measures) (Overseas
Territories) Order 2004 (SI 2004/347).
The 1999 report mentioned that any sanction
Orders approved by an FCO Minister should be brought to the attention
of the Committee. Therefore I also enclose an Order implementing
European Council Common Position 2004/31/CFSP in the Overseas
Territories.[3]
This imposes an arms embargo on Sudan, and is entitled:
The Sudan (Restrictive Measures) (Overseas Territories)
Order 2004 (SI 2004/349).
