The 2004 Order applies in the Overseas Territories specified in Schedule 1 to that Order the measures adopted by the United Nations Security Council in Resolution 1521 (2003) and by the Council of the European Union in Common Position 2004/137/CFSP. This Order gives effect to the modified arms embargo measures provided for in United Nations Security Council Resolution 1903 (2009) and Council Decision 2010/129/CFSP adopted on 1 March 2010.
This Order reduces the scope of the arms embargo already in place by restricting the prohibitions on the supply or export of arms and related material and the provision of assistance, advice or training related to military activities to non-governmental persons in Liberia. The opportunity has also been taken to clarify the 2004 Order by including definitions of “financing and financial assistance” and “technical assistance” and updating the definition of restricted goods.
