The United Nations Sanctions (Overseas Territories) (Revocations) Order 2013 (S.I. 2013/237)

Summary

This is a UK Order in Council that formally revokes four earlier United Nations sanctions orders relating to Liberia and Sierra Leone as they applied across various Overseas Territories, including the Cayman Islands. The underlying UN sanctions measures had already terminated, so this Order simply removes the now-defunct implementing legislation from the statute book.

• Revoked: The Liberia (United Nations Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) Order 2001
• Revoked: The Liberia (United Nations Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) (No. 2) Order 2001
• Revoked: The Liberia (United Nations Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) (Amendment) Order 2003
• Revoked: The Sierra Leone (United Nations Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) Order 2000

The Order is purely administrative in effect: it does not impose any new sanctions, obligations, or compliance requirements on businesses or individuals in the Cayman Islands or other listed territories, since the sanctions regimes it revokes had already ceased to operate.
