EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order confers the legal capacities of a body corporate on the African Legal Support Facility (‘ALSF’), an international organisation established with the aim of ensuring fair and balanced negotiations between African countries and their investors and creditors by providing legal assistance to strengthen legal expertise and negotiating capacity in debt management and litigation; natural resources and extractive industries management and contracting; investment agreements; and related commercial and business transactions. The Agreement for the Establishment of the African Legal Support Facility (‘the ALSF Agreement’) entered into force on 15 December 2008. The United Kingdom signed the ALSF Agreement on 17 December 2009.
Article III of the ALSF Agreement requires that ALSF have legal capacity. This Order will enable Her Majesty’s Government to give effect to its obligations under Article III and will come into force on the date that the ALSF Agreement enters into force with respect to the United Kingdom.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
