UN SANCTIONS AGAINST YUGOSLAVIA
Ma
POSSIBLE BREACHES
PLEASE REFER TO YOUR TELELETTER PAO(C) 5/3571/92 OF 8 MARCH ABOUT WHETHER SCR 713 HAS BEEN APPLIED TO HONG KONG.
1.
2.
NO SPECIFIC LEGISLATION HAS BEEN PLACED BY THE UK TO STOP THE EXPORT OF ARMS AND MILITARY EQUIPMENT TO THE FRY FOLLOWING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SCR 713. THE UK EXPORT OF GOODS CONTROL ORDER, WHICH IS MIRRORED BY HONG KONG, CONTROLS THE SALE OF ARMS TO ANY DESTINATION. TO COMPLY WITH SCR 713 THE POLICY FOLLOWED WITH REGARD TO ARMS SALES TO THE FRY WAS CHANGED SO THAT ALL SUCH APPLICATIONS ARE NOW REFUSED. HONG KONG SHOULD BE TAKING THE SAME CTION ON ALL APPLICATIONS IT RECEIVES FOR EXPORTS OF ARMS AND MILITARY EQUIPMENT TO ALL THE FORMER REPUBLICS OF YUGOSLAVIA.
3.
I HOPE THIS CLARIFIES THE POSITION.
