DECISION AND REASON FOR THE DECISION: The Minister for External Relations has requested that a UK Statutory Instrument - the United Nations Sanctions (Revocations) Order 2020 (the “Statutory Instrument”) - be registered in the Royal Court. In the past, a number of United Nations Security Council (UNSC) sanctions regimes were implemented in Jersey through Orders in Council (“OiCs”). Some of these OiCs are defunct (i.e. they implement UNSC sanctions regimes that are no longer in force) and others have long since been superseded by Jersey’s own sanctions legislation. All sanctions in Jersey are now implemented through the Sanctions and Asset-Freezing (Jersey) Law 2019 and the Sanctions and Asset-Freezing (Implementation of EU Regulations) (Jersey) Order 2020. The UK, in consultation with External Relations, has made the Statutory Instrument, which repeals a large number of OiCs that apply to Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, the UK, and the British Overseas Territories. For the Statutory Instrument to take effect in Jersey it must be registered in the Royal Court. The Statutory Instrument repeals the following Orders in Council relevant to Jersey: - The Serbia and Montenegro (United Nations Sanctions) (Channel Islands) Order 1992 - The Serbia and Montenegro (United Nations Sanctions) (Channel Islands) Order 1993 - The Libya (United Nations Sanctions) (Channel Islands) Order 1993 - The Haiti (United Nations Sanctions) (Channel Islands) Order 1994 - The Former Yugoslavia (United Nations Sanctions) (Channel Islands) Order 1994 - The Former Yugoslavia (United Nations Sanctions) (Channel Islands) (Amendment) Order 1994 - The United Nations Arms Embargoes (Somalia, Liberia and Rwanda) (Channel Islands) Order 1996 - The United Nations Arms Embargoes (Somalia, Liberia and Rwanda) (Channel Islands) (Amendment) Order 1997 - The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (United Nations Sanctions) (Channel Islands) Order 1998 - The United Nations Arms Embargoes (Channel Islands) (Amendment) (Sierra Leone) Order 1998 - The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (United Nations Sanctions) (Channel Islands) (Amendment) Order 1999 - The Eritrea and Ethiopia (United Nations Sanctions) (Channel Islands) Order 2000 - The Eritrea and Ethiopia (United Nations Sanctions) (Channel Islands) (Amendment) Order 2000 - The Sierra Leone (United Nations Sanctions) (Channel Islands) Order 2000 - The Iraq (United Nations Sanctions) (Channel Islands) Order 2000 - The Liberia (United Nations Sanctions) (Channel Islands) Order 2001 - The Terrorism (United Nations Measures) (Channel Islands) Order 2001 - The Al-Qa’ida and Taliban (United Nations Measures) (Channel Islands) Order 2002 - The Somalia (United Nations Sanctions) (Channel Islands) Order 2002 - The Iraq (United Nations Sanctions) (Channel Islands) Order 2003 - The Democratic Republic of the Congo (United Nations Sanctions) (Channel Islands) Order 2003 - The Liberia (United Nations Sanctions) (Channel Islands) Order 2004 - The Liberia (United Nations Sanctions) (Channel Islands) (Amendment) Order 2004 - The Iraq (United Nations Sanctions) (Channel Islands) (Amendment) Order 2004 - The Sudan (United Nations Measures) (Channel Islands) Order 2005 - The Democratic Republic of the Congo (United Nations Sanctions) (Channel Islands) Order 2005 - The Lebanon and Syria (United Nations Measures) (Channel Islands) Order 2006 |
