UNITED NATIONS

This Order consolidates the asset freezing provisions imposed by the United Nations Security Council in relation to Iraq. Asset freezing obligations were originally imposed by the Security Council in relation to Iraq in Security Council resolution 661 (1990). These obligations were significantly amended by Security Council resolution 1483 (2003) to provide for an asset transfer mechanism to the Development Fund for Iraq (“the DFI”) which was an account of the Central Bank of Iraq subject to international oversight by the United Nations. The DFI along with certain obligations preventing the attachment of monies payable to the DFI was terminated by virtue of Security Council resolution 1956 (2010), but the obligation to freeze assets remained in place.
