In recent years sanctions have become an increasingly popular tool of foreign policy, not only at the multilateral level (at the UN), but also regionally (the EU in particular) and unilaterally. The nature of measures imposed has also changed: from comprehensive sanctions regimes (discredited since Iraq in the 1990s) to 'targeted' or 'smart' sanctions, directed at specific individuals or entities (through asset freezes and travel bans) or prohibiting particular activities (arms embargos and export prohibitions).
Bringing together scholars and government and private practitioners, Sanctions and Embargoes in International Law provides an overview of recent developments and an analysis of the problems that they have engendered.
Chapters examine the contemporary practice of the various actors, and the legality (or otherwise) of their activities. Issues considered include the human rights of persons targeted, and the mechanisms established to challenge their listing; as well as, in cases of sanctions imposed żeby regional organizations and individual States, the rights of third States and their nationals.The book will be of interest to students, academics and practitioners of international law and politics.
