Download or read book United Nations Non Proliferation Sanctions on Iran and North Korea written by Enrico Carisch and published by CCPI. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sanctions are one of the most widely used political measures to resolve conflicts, prevent atrocities or act as a deterrent to the proliferation of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. Yet they are perhaps the least understood political tools, and even those in governments and companies with the responsibility to implement sanctions often are overwhelmed by their technical complexities. This Practitioners' Handbook, authored and peer-reviewed by leading sanctions practitioners answers to pragmatic implementation information needs. Specifically, it explains embargoes on conventional arms as well as the far more elaborate restrictions of WMD, related asset freezes and other economic measures, or the individual UN travel bans. These measures are now applied to the illegal proliferation efforts by North Korea. Some of these restrictions also still apply to Iran - despite the recent agreement by Iran to disarm its non-civilian nuclear infrastructure. Additionally, this handbook delivers ten typologies of sanctions violations, drawn from real investigations, to illustrate practical challenges that those with implementation responsibilities must face. Fourteen tables, twenty two extensive diagrams and figures, and five annexes further assist readers to understand all the technical issues that are part of today's sanctions complexities. They include the names of those individuals and entities who will be delisted from the Iran sanctions according to the schedule of the JCPOA, the disarmament agreement recently concluded between the P5 +1 and Iran.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North Korea's stubborn proliferation of its nuclear armament and ballistic missiles to deliver its dangerous weapons have triggered an unprecedented alliance of the US and China plus all other major and lesser powers of the world to unite in the imposition of sanctions. Perhaps encouraged by the apparent progress in the denuclearization of Iran's military programs after 10 years of UN and other international sanctions, the Security Council is still hopeful that its peaceful, sanctions-supported strategy will prevail. With Iran, the international community is dealing with the " good" problems of how to dismantle international sanctions in incremental steps over the coming 8-10 years, proportionate to Iran's dismantling of its illegal proliferation program. The first effort towards effective UN sanctions implementation requires the closing of the gapping knowledge and skill deficit so widely observed among pundits, journalists, academics, politicians and many others. The authors of the Practitioner's Compliance Handbook are offering very detailed pragmatic best practices guidance for the implementation of all UN sanctions measures. The Handbook describes the workings of embargoes against conventional and unconventional arms, dual use equipment and even the arcane Catch-All Provisions. The book also explains how the UN's individual travel ban and asset freezes work and what must be done to be in full compliance with these powerful measures. Finally, the ban on the export of luxury items to North Korea, the newest addition to the UN's sanctions toolkit - is fully explored as well. United Nations Non-Proliferation Regimes on Iran and North Korea: Practitioner's Compliance Handbook offers a practical, top-down advise for the establishment of implementation structures for States or for corporations. The book also contains dozens of illustrations, graphics, tables and annexes, and 10 illustrated typographies of sanctions violations, drawn from sanctions buster cases. Finally, a special chapter: Sanctions violations and the applicability of UN conventions for better controls by guest author Professor Nikos Passas, specialist on international criminology and corruption explores the intersection between sanctions and international law.
Download or read book Sanction Dynamics in the Cases of North Korea Iran and Russia written by Julian Walterskirchen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the sanction regimes imposed by the United States, the European Union, and the United Nations against Russia, Iran, and North Korea. While the application of sanctions as a foreign policy tool has developed considerably, particularly over the last three decades, their empirically verifiable effects remain contested. Based on detailed empirical evidence, this book investigates the dynamic nature of individual sanctions measures, their multi-layered objectives as a foreign policy tool, their effects on the targeted economies and governments, and how targeted states respond to them. Furthermore, it offers a rare comparative perspective. The book presents a concise summary of the most important aspects and describes some key characteristics that could improve the use of sanctions as a foreign policy tool. This book will appeal to researchers, scholars, and students of international relations, as well as practitioners and policy-makers interested in a better understanding of the effects of sanction regimes and the improvement of sanctions as a foreign policy tool.
Download or read book Double Trouble written by Patrick M. Cronin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-11-30 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North Korea possesses nuclear weapons, while Iran is poised to acquire them in the next decade. How the United States and other nations seek to roll back these burgeoning nuclear powers is among the most urgent issues of the day. At stake is regional security in the Persian Gulf and Northeast Asia, America's standing abroad, and prospects for nuclear non-proliferation. This book offers complementary international perspectives on these threats and the peaceful responses to grapple with the Iranian and North Korean nuclear programs. Leading authorities provide balanced analyses—together with new chronologies and maps—that make the volume an invaluable reference for all those interested in understanding options available in dealing with Iran and North Korea. The contributors to this volume offer complementary international perspectives on the critical security issues that stem from the challenges posed by Iran and North Korea. No other work combines the analysis of the two countries and explores the threat posed by each to regional stability and world order. The book examines how and why attempts to curb the nuclear programs and broader political ambitions of each nation have failed. It also examines how each nation, in its own way, has managed to defy the world's preponderant power, the United States, as well as other major powers and the United Nations. And it offers analysis on where the fractured and oscillating relations with these two nettlesome actors are heading and the long-term implications of their current trajectories for nuclear proliferation, deterrence, alliance management, regional security, and world order.
Download or read book Economic Sanctions Against a Nuclear North Korea written by Suk Hi Kim and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2007-08-16 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: United States economic sanctions against North Korea began on June 28, 1950, three days after the outbreak of the Korean War. Since then, the United States, its allies, and the United Nations have increasingly imposed economic sanctions against North Korea in an attempt to destabilize and manipulate the North Korean regime. This book first provides a thorough historical overview of U.S. and U.N. sanctions against North Korea since 1950. Then, several essays propose ways to make such sanctions more politically effective while limiting their harmful humanitarian consequences. Finally, the book discusses the impact of the newest, six-nation agreement signed in February 2007 which would shut down North Korea's nuclear facility in return for economic aid and a security guarantee. Several appendices provide brief guides to the history of North Korea and the country's nuclear weapons program.

Download or read book Efficacy of Economic Sanctions written by U. S. Military and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-30 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since World War I, the popularity of using economic sanctions by western nations to influence the behavior of states not conforming to international norms has increased. The end of the Cold War renewed the zeal within the international community and unleashed a wave of new sanctions during the 1990s that earned it the "Sanctions Decade" title. Questions regarding the success of recent sanctions to influence Iraq, Haiti, Iran, and North Korea have fueled the debate among scholars and diplomats regarding the effectiveness of economic sanctions. This paper will summarize some of the key theories of economic sanctions along with criteria for successful implementation as learned from lessons. How sanctions have been applied towards Iran and North Korea will be presented along with an evaluation of their effectiveness to date. These two case studies will be examined by applying theory, practice, and historical context to evaluate and make recommendations regarding the continued use of economic sanctions to persuade North Korea and Iran to abandon their nuclear ambitions. Are economic sanctions useful in forcing the modification of a nation's behavior? Has globalization of the world's economies made sanctions ineffective except in minor disagreements? Are the US and UN left with only the military option to dissuade the proliferation of nuclear weapons? Unfortunately recent cases increasingly indicate that successful application of sanctions is becoming a rare outcome. Economic sanctions are currently the instrument of choice by western nations to influence or modify the behavior of actors deemed not meeting accepted norms set by the international community. The use of sanctions has risen to prominence exponentially since World War I, peaking in the 1990s. This paper will review the relevant theories on the application of economic sanctions as a tool of national power and their effectiveness in achieving success. The theories and lessons will be applied to analyze the effectiveness of the current sanctions imposed against Iran and North Korea in order to identify if success can be expected by maintaining the current course. The commonalities and differences between the two case studies will be highlighted and recommendations to change implementation in order to improve the possibility of success will be provided. Economic Sanction Theory Economic sanctions represent one tool available as nations exercise their instruments of national power, generally categorized in terms of diplomatic, military, informational, and economic, to influence the behavior of other actors in the pursuit of national objectives. The popularity of sanctions has risen in the twentieth century for a variety of reasons. The scar of World War I left many with a desire of never again using military force. World War II, nuclear weapons, and the Cold War provided further incentives to find other tools beside military force. Many saw the collapse of the Soviet Union, leaving the US as the sole remaining super power, as fertile ground for increased use of sanctions.
