Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course offers an in-depth exploration of the legal frameworks governing sanctions in international and European law, with a primary focus on United Nations (UN) and European Union (EU) sanctions. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of how sanctions function as instruments of international law and diplomacy, influencing the international response of states to international conflicts.

While our focus is on UN and EU sanctions, we will also consider the legal framework for sanctions in the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK). We discuss US sanctions, administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), in terms of how they affect EU operators and measures by the EU in response. UK sanctions, particularly post-Brexit, will be examined in terms of how the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) manages sanctions, highlighting areas where UK sanctions align with or diverge from EU sanctions.

Through interactive discussion, case studies, and insights from legal practitioners, students will critically assess the legal effectiveness and limitations of sanctions as tools of foreign policy. By the end of the course, students will be able to analyze sanctions within the framework of international and European law and evaluate their broader impact on global governance, international relations, and diplomacy.
