The ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida (Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) Order 2016 (revoked)

This Order gives effect in specified Overseas Territories to sanctions imposed on designated individuals by United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1267 (1999), 1333 (2000), 1390 (2002), and 2253 (2015), which was adopted on 17th December 2015.
