EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order gives effect in specified Overseas Territories to sanctions against South Sudan adopted by the European Union in Council Decision 2014/449/CFSP adopted on 10th July 2014.
For the sake of clarity, measures implemented by the European Union concerning South Sudan have been separated from measures concerning Sudan. The sanctions imposed include an arms embargo and a prohibition on the provision of related assistance to South Sudan and an asset freeze and travel ban against persons designated by the Council of the European Union as obstructing the political process in South Sudan, including by acts of violence or violations of ceasefire agreements, as well as persons responsible for serious violations of human rights in South Sudan and persons associated with them.
The Order makes provision for the Governor to license certain activities in line with exemptions under the sanctions regime.
