The Visiting Forces (Designation) Order 2013
Section 9A of the Visiting Forces Act 1952 (c. 67) makes provision for the transfer to the Ministry of Defence of liability in certain claims against visiting forces. With the exception of Canada and Malta, to which section 9A already applies, it is necessary to designate North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) member countries and States which have accepted the invitation of NATO to take part in the Partnership for Peace as countries to which section 9A applies. Article 4 of this Order designates the countries to which section 9A is to apply.
