(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order, made under the United Nations Act 1946, amends the United Nations Arms Embargoes (Liberia, Somalia and the Former Yugoslavia) Order 1993 by revoking the restrictions contained therein on the delivery and supply of arms and related materiel to the territories of the former Yugoslavia. The Order implements the decision of the Security Council of the United Nations, in a resolution adopted on 22nd November 1995, to terminate the arms embargo in respect of the territories of the former Yugoslavia. In addition, the opportunity has been taken to bring the definition of “prohibited goods” into line with recent legislation and to take account of the termination of the United Nations Operation in Somalia II.
