Objective
EU sanctions (restrictive measures) are one of the Union's tools to promote the objectives of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). The Council imposes EU restrictive measures (such as the freezing of funds and travel bans) through a CFSP Council decision adopted by unanimity, which is notified to the persons and entities targeted by it. These include governments of non-EU countries because of their policies, entities (companies) providing the means to conduct the targeted policies, groups or organisations such as terrorist groups and individuals supporting the targeted policies, involved in terrorist activities etc. The measures can then be challenged before the General Court of the European Union.
This online seminar will provide participants with detailed knowledge on legal aspects of restrictive measures applied by the European Union, including the recent jurisprudence of the CJEU. Moreover, the EU guidelines on the implementation and evaluation of restrictive measures, as well as best practice in the implementation of such restrictive measures, will be analysed and placed within the wider international context of sanctions imposed by other governments and entities. Details about the planned EU Global Human Rights Sanctions Regime will be presented.
