1 November 2003 - Legislation change
Client summary
From 1 November 2003, the Migration (Angola - United Nations Security Council Resolutions) Regulations, which imposed travel restrictions on senior officials of the Uniao Nacional para a Independencia Total de Angola (UNITA) and their adult immediate family members, have been repealed.
Technical details
Additional information: the Migration (Angola - United Nations Security Council Resolutions) Regulations were made, on 18 December 1997, to implement sanctions imposed by United Nations Security Council Resolution 1127 (1997) against UNITA for failing to implement its obligations under peace accords with the Angolan government.
The Resolution prevented entry into Member States by senior officials of UNITA and their adult immediate family members.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs advised on 13 January 2003 that the United
Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1448 (2002) on 9 December 2002 terminating, from that date, sanctions against Angola imposed by its Resolutions 864 (1993), 1127 (1997) and 1173 (1998).
Consequently the relevant migration regulations have been repealed with effect from 1 November 2003.
Transitional arrangements: the Migration (Angola - United Nations Security Council Resolutions) Regulations do not apply in relation to an application for a visa made but not finally determined before 1 November 2003, or made on or after 1 November 2003.
