§ Mr. CrausbyTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the new United Nations Security Council resolution adopted on 5 June lifting the arms embargo on Sierra Leone and imposing one on non-Governmental forces in Sierra Leone. [46357]
§ Mr. Tony LloydThe new Resolution supersedes part of the UN Security Council Resolution 1132. It ensures that the arms embargo to Sierra Leone applies to non-governmental forces and makes explicit exception for the Military Observer Group of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOMOG) and the United Nations.
Following the adoption of the UN Security Council on 5 June of the new Resolution, Orders in Council are now being prepared giving full effect in our law to the arms embargo imposed by the new Resolution.
