HL Deb 16 February 1999 vol 597 c71WA
Lord Burlison

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What steps they have taken to implement the requirement in UNSCR 1160 for United Nations member states to prevent arming and training for terrorist activities in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. [HL1033]

Baroness Ramsay of Cartvale

The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (United Nations Sanctions) Order 1998 implemented in UK law the ban on the sale of arms and related material to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia imposed by Security Council Resolution 1160. In order to ensure that we have done everything possible to prevent UK nationals from providing training for terrorist activities in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, an amending order was made on 10 February by the Privy Council to make it an offence to provide training or training facilities likely to assist the carrying out of acts of terrorism there. This is the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (United Nations Sanctions) (Amendment) Order 1999.

On the same date there were also made the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (United Nations Sanctions) (Dependent Territories) (Amendment) Order 1999: the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (United Nations Sanctions) (Channel Islands) (Amendment) Order 1999; and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (United Nations Sanctions) (Isle of Man) (Amendment) Order 1999. These orders contain similar provisions.
