ESIL Prague - Nottingham Symposium: Non-UN Sanctions and International Law

Original language description

Veronika Bílková, the Czech representative in Venice Commission, and at present its Vice-President participated on arganizing this international law symposium, in cooperation with the European Society of International Law. The general idea behind this two-part Symposium was to consider various aspects of non-UN sanctions, e.g. unilateral sanctions adopted by individual States, groups of States, regional organizations, or other actors. Although much has been written about sanctions over the past years, the focus typically lies on UN sanctions, i.e. coercive measures not involving the use of force adopted by virtue of Article 41 of the UN Charter. Yet, international practice reveals that sanctions are also, with increasing frequency, adopted outside the UN framework. The legality and legitimacy of these sanctions, as well as their efficiency, remain uncertain and, to a large extent, unexplored. The Symposium sought to contribute to a better understanding of how non-UN sanctions operate and what their legal status is. The programme was composed of four panels, which dealt with the legality of non-UN sanctions, conditions of their lawful exercise, selected case studies (mainly those of sanctions against the Russian Federation), and the relationship between non-UN sanctions and some traditional institutions of international law (immunities, etc.). Leading scholars on sanctions as well as PhD students writing their dissertation about the topic presented their papers and during disucssions helped to explore the topic further.
