Summary

This chapter intricately examines the interplay between economic and financial sanctions and international law. It dissects multilateral and unilateral sanctions, outlining their legal parameters. Analyzing the delicate balance between these approaches, the chapter explores state sovereignty, non-intervention, countermeasures, and countersanctions. It navigates the complex realm of judicial proceedings within third-party countermeasures. Additionally, the chapter scrutinizes the connection between unilateral sanctions and the World Trade Organization framework, delves into the interaction of sanctions with human rights laws, and addresses how courts address the intricate juncture between sanctions and human rights within the broader international legal context.
