(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order extends with modifications the Lebanon (Sanctions) (Assassination of Rafiq Hariri and others) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/617) ("the Regulations") as amended from time to time to all British overseas territories except Bermuda and Gibraltar (which implement sanctions under their own legislative arrangements). It also implements in those territories the travel ban in respect of named persons required by paragraph 3(a) of resolution 1636 (2005) ("resolution 1636") adopted by the Security Council on 31 October 2005 (which in the United Kingdom is implemented by way of the Immigration Act 1971 (c.77) rather than the Regulations).

Section 63(3)(c) of the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (c.13) ("the Sanctions Act") provides that Her Majesty may by Order in Council provide for any provision of Part 1 of that Act, or any regulations under Part 1 of the Act, to extend with or without modifications to any of the British overseas territories. Section 63(4) provides that this includes the power to extend any regulations as amended from time to time.
