Summary

Unilateral Sanctions in International Law explores the legality and limits of unilateral sanctions imposed by states or groups of states. It analyses state practice, international legal provisions, and the effects of sanctions on navigation, aviation, trade, investment, economic integration, human rights, and the environment. The book argues that broad unilateral sanctions are unlawful unless they comply with specific procedural and substantive international law requirements, consolidating rules scattered across different legal domains and emerging customary law.

Description

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.

Unilateral Sanctions in International Law 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.

This book is a comprehensive and essential resource for scholars, legal practitioners, and policymakers seeking insight into the complex legal, economic, and humanitarian aspects of unilateral sanctions. It bridges theory and practice with valuable case studies, offering fresh perspectives and addressing gaps in the existing literature. Praised as a nuanced and thorough examination of an evolving subject, it serves as an invaluable contribution to international law studies. -- Mohd Imran, The Chinese Journal of International Law
