The Iraq (United Nations Sanctions) Order 2000
This Order makes provision to give effect to a decision of the Security Council of the United Nations in Resolution 661 of 6th August 1990. It prohibits the making of funds available to the government of the Republic of Iraq or persons resident in Iraq, and the remission or removal of funds to Iraq from the United Kingdom (article 3). Provision is also made for the Treasury (or a person acting on their behalf—see article 12) to require certain suspected Iraqi funds to be frozen (article 4). Article 6 makes it an offence to facilitate the commission of an offence under article 3 or 4(8).
