The Afghanistan (Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) Order 2020

This Order extends with modifications the Afghanistan (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/948) (“the Afghanistan 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 UN designated persons required by paragraph 1(b) of resolution 2255 (2015) adopted by the Security Council on 21st December 2015 (which in the United Kingdom is implemented by way of the Immigration Act 1971 (c.77) rather than the Afghanistan Regulations).
