SCHEDULE 7 Amendment of the Iraq (United Nations Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) Order 2003

Interpretation

In article 4 of the Iraq (United Nations Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) Order 2003(6) replace the definition of “restricted goods” with-

““restricted goods” means the goods, software and technology specified in Schedule 2 to the Export Control Order 2008(7) as amended from time to time.”.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

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.

This Order also amends the Iraq (United Nations Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) Order 2003 to update the definition of “restricted goods”.
