The Ivory Coast (Restrictive Measures) (Overseas Territories) Order 2005
This Order applies to each of the territories specified in Schedule 1. This instrument gives effect to certain measures in resolution 1572 adopted by the Security Council of the United Nations on 15 November 2004, as implemented in the EU. UNSCR 1572 (2004) amongst other things imposes an arms embargo, with certain exemptions, on Ivory Coast with immediate effect; and provided for an assets freeze and travel ban against certain persons to come into effect on 15 December 2004. The targeted persons will be those designated by the Sanctions Committee as constituting a threat to the peace and national reconciliation process in Ivory Coast. These measures are implemented in the EU by Common Position CSFP/852/2004 adopted on 13 December 2004, which extends the arms embargo to equipment which might be used for internal repression and bans financial assistance related to military activities subject to the embargo. Aspects of the sanctions falling within Community competence will be implemented in two EC Regulations.
