EXPLANATORY NOTE

EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Order)

This Order, made under the United Nations Act 1946, amends the United Nations Arms Embargoes (Liberia, Somalia and the former Yugoslavia) Order 1993 by imposing restrictions on the delivery and supply of arms and related materiel to Sierra Leone, pursuant to a decision of the Security Council of the United Nations in Resolution No 1171 of 5th June 1998, which terminated earlier restrictions related to Sierra Leone and re-imposed more limited restrictions. The Order also revokes the Sierra Leone (United Nations Sanctions) Order 1997. In addition, the opportunity has been taken to bring the definition of “prohibited goods” into line with recent legislation.
