Explanatory note

This Order, made under the International Criminal Court Act 2001, extends provisions of the Act, with modifications, to the overseas territories specified in Annex 2. Certain provisions of the 2001 Act are omitted as they are not relevant to overseas territories or there is no intention that the provisions be applied there (for example, those relating to enforcement of sentences of imprisonment in Part 4 of the Act). This will enable the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, done at Rome on 17 July 1998, to be extended to the Overseas Territories listed in Annex 2 to this order. No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been produced in respect of this Order because it applies exclusively in the Overseas Territories concerned.
