  • More about Unilateral Sanctions in International Law

The book explores whether there are any rules in international law applicable to unilateral sanctions and if so, what they are. It includes an analysis of State practice, the provisions of various international legal instruments, and their impact on other areas of international law. It finds that unilateral sanctions by a state or a group of states against another state would be unlawful unless they meet the procedural and substantive requirements stipulated in international law.

This groundbreaking book delves into the realm of international law, exploring the question of whether there exist any rules governing unilateral sanctions. It conducts a comprehensive examination of both the legitimacy and boundaries of such measures, encompassing an analysis of state practice, the provisions of various international legal instruments, and their implications on other areas of international law, such as freedom of navigation, aviation, and transit, as well as international trade, investment, regional economic integration, and the protection of human rights and the environment.

Through its in-depth research, the book reveals that unilateral sanctions imposed by a state or a group of states against another state, in contrast to "smart or targeted sanctions of limited scope," would be deemed unlawful unless they adhere to the procedural and substantive requirements stipulated in international law. Moreover, it identifies and consolidates these requirements scattered across different areas of international law, including the additional rules of customary international law that have emerged from the recent practice of states and further limit the use of unilateral sanctions.

The book's findings are of paramount importance, as they shed light on the legal framework governing unilateral sanctions and provide valuable insights into their application and impact on global affairs. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners alike, contributing to the ongoing discourse on international law and its role in shaping the international landscape.
