Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Resolution 1572, adopted on 15 November 2004 by the Security Council of the United Nations, imposed certain restrictive measures in respect of the Ivory Coast. Security Council resolution 1643, adopted on 15 December 2005, renewed those provisions of resolution 1572 requiring renewal, and in addition imposed a ban on the importation of rough diamonds from the Ivory Coast. This Order amends the Ivory Coast (Restrictive Measures) (Overseas Territories) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/242), to give effect to that ban.
