The use of "sanctions" by one state against another is always topical. This book unravels the legal intricacies surrounding the application of this form of reprisal by states in a number of situations.There is no more topical subject in international law than the issue of "counter-measures", perhaps more commonly referred to as "economic sanctions". The increasing incidence of situations in which economic sanctions have been imposed, including the cases of Rhodesia, South Africa and most recently Iran, has given rise to a plethora of cases and unresolved questions. Is it "legal" for one state to interfere with the economic activity of another state? This book examines the history and current status of the counter-measure, focusing in particular upon the conditions under which states might be entitled to employ such devices. It unravels the legal intricacies surrounding the application of this form of reprisal by states in a number of situations. It will be indispensible to international lawyers, diplomats, and teachers and students of international law, as well as scholars of international relations, politics and economics. Scholars and practising international lawyers; scholars of international relations, politics, economics. |
