SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN:
1.
DEPENDENT TERRITORIES
The only dependent territories within this Department's
area are the New Hebrides and Pitcairn.
2.
As a condominium the application of sanctions by the New Hebrides would require consultation and co-ordination with the French. In view of the slightly different French policy this could be a tedious business for at best a negligible impact upon New Hebrides exports. Pitcairn is so insignificant as to be discounted. I therefore agree with the general recommendation in your draft submission that sanctions should not be applied to dependent territories.
