This book was released on 2022-07-11 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Open Access publication of this book has been published with the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation. Are unilateral economic sanctions legal under public international law? How do they relate to the existing international legal principles and norms? Can unilateral economic sanctions imposed to redress grave human rights violations be subjected to the same legal contestations as other unilateral sanctions? What potential contribution can the recently formulated doctrine of Common Concern of Humankind make by introducing substantive and procedural prerequisites to legitimise unilateral human rights sanctions? Unilateral Sanctions in International Law and the Enforcement of Human Rights by Iryna Bogdanova addresses these complex questions while taking account of the burgeoning state practice of employing unilateral economic sanctions.
Download or read book Unilateral Sanctions in International Law written by Surya P Subedi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-06 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book that explores whether there are any rules in international law applicable to unilateral sanctions and if so, what they are. The book examines both the lawfulness of unilateral sanctions and the limitations within which they should operate. In doing so, it includes an analysis of State practice, the provisions of various international legal instruments dealing with such sanctions and their impact on other areas of international law such as freedom of navigation, aviation and transit, and the principles of international trade, investment, regional economic integration, and the protection of human rights and the environment. This study finds that unilateral sanctions by a state or a group of states against another state as opposed to 'smart' or targeted sanctions of limited scope would be unlawful, unless they meet the procedural and substantive requirements stipulated in international law. Importantly, the book identifies and consolidates these requirements scattered in different areas of international law, including the additional rules of customary international law that have emerged out of the recent practice of States and that increase the limitations on the use of unilateral sanctions.
Download or read book Unilateral Economic Sanctions A Policy Assessment written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is to assess U.S. policy on economic sanctions and make recommendations as appropriate that will prepare the U.S. for 2010 and beyond. I will describe current national security policy in this area with some necessary background information and attempt to address policy objectives (ends), concepts or methods (ways), and means (resources). This paper will address U.S. policy as it pertains to unilateral economic sanctions only. For the purpose of this paper the definition of unilateral economic sanctions is: The deliberate, government- inspired, unilateral withdrawal, or threat of withdrawal of customary trade or financial relations. The first recorded case of trade sanctions occurred in 432 B.C., when the Athenian leader Pericles imposed sanctions on Megara. Megara appealed to Sparta for assistance, resulting in the Peloponnesian War. An early example of U.S. sanctions occurred in 1807, when President Jefferson embargoed all U.S. trade with Europe to protest British attacks on U.S. merchant ships. This effort, like most unilateral sanctions, proved to be a complete failure. The U.S. use of economic sanctions as an instrument of National Power among the four options (diplomatic, economic, military and informational) has become our weapon of choice for responding to events and situations that threaten our security. Sometimes we use them when there is no threat to our security or interests. Ernest Preeg offers a convincing argument that unilateral sanctions "let us feel good without going much good at all", in his book, Feeling Good or Doing Good with Sanctions. Unilateral sanctions are attractive to our Congressman and President because they respond to frustrations and the demand to take action.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rodman (government, Colby College) examines the use of sanctions from the early Cold War era through the 1990s, including the Helms-Burton Law and the Iran-Libya Sanctions Act.

Download or read book The Sanctions Paradox written by Daniel W. Drezner and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-08-26 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite their increasing importance, there is little theoretical understanding of why nation-states initiate economic sanctions, or what determines their success. This book argues that both imposers and targets of economic coercion incorporate expectations of future conflict as well as the short-run opportunity costs of coercion into their behaviour. Drezner argues that conflict expectations have a paradoxical effect. Adversaries will impose sanctions frequently, but rarely secure concessions. Allies will be reluctant to use coercion, but once sanctions are used, they can result in significant concessions. Ironically, the most favourable distribution of payoffs is likely to result when the imposer cares the least about its reputation or the distribution of gains. The book's argument is pursued using game theory and statistical analysis, and detailed case studies of Russia's relations with newly-independent states, and US efforts to halt nuclear proliferation on the Korean peninsula.--Publisher description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of essays-written by military officers who analyzed the intelligence, planned the missions, and flew the planes over Iraq, Kosovo, and Afghanistan-offers the most penetrating look to date at the realities of American precision air power. When the gun-camera footage from air strikes during the Gulf War reached America's television screens, people awoke to the astonishing accuracy and power of smart weapons. Yet ten years' experience has taught what these remarkable weapons can and cannot do, and now, as American policy makers look to them to win the global war on terrorism, it is essential to understand the promise and the limits of immaculate warfare. This volume of essays-written by military officers who analyzed the intelligence, planned the missions, and flew the planes over Iraq, Kosovo, and Afghanistan-offers the most penetrating look to date at the realities of American precision air power. Topics include: • The political context of using force from the air • The theoretical considerations involved in the use of air power to coerce an enemy • An insider's view from General Clark's headquarters as he commanded the Kosovo war effort • The tensions between civilian and military leaderships during the Kosovo war • Precision weapons and the paradoxes their use involves • The debate surrounding when precision weapons ought to be employed
