“…However, the Security Council was unable to adopt resolutions relating to coercive measures not involving the use of force, according to the former art. 41 of the Chapter of the UN (De La Sablière, 2018;Butchard, 2020;Novosseloff, 2021). After the "special" invasion that Putin started at the end of February 2022, the EU from 1st March authorized new generation sanctions, of an original nature that we have not seen in other cases, i.e.…”

The restrictive measures imposed on the Russian federation concern not only the State but also the entities and some people of power. These measures include the freezing of funds, illegal economic resources of a technical or material nature but also those that are oriented towards the production and use of chemical weapons and/or acts that help and encourage such activity. This research focuses mainly on the type of the aforementioned sanctions by the European Union. This work also seeks to analyze the legal effectiveness of these sanctions within the circle of the United Nations and World Trade Organization (WTO). Finally, the proposal of new types of sanctions, but also the setting of new rules against the Russian federation are the final objective of our work.

“…However, it could also be conversely argued -and it is our position -that the adoption of sanctions against non-state actors does not entail that the Security Council is engaging in legislative activity, but it is rather interpreting and implementing existing international law, clarifying the scope of application of existing obligations such as the duty to prevent terrorism under international law. 34…”

The United Nations Security Council Resolution No. 2664 is a trailblazing development in the protection of humanitarian interests in the context of sanctions regimes. Adopted after strenuous and tough negotiations, the Resolution introduces a humanitarian carve-out to almost all asset-freezing sanctions, exempting humanitarian operations from the scope of application of UN sanction regimes. This represents a momentous achievement towards prioritizing and safeguarding the needs and interests of humanitarian organizations and actors. Indeed, economic sanctions as instruments to achieve policy objectives raise challenges as they restrict entire economies, thus bringing severe consequences for the populations of the targeted states. Targeted sanctions, however, can be difficult to implement, as the activities of targeted individuals or groups and legitimate humanitarian actors can often overlap from a financial standpoint. The humanitarian carve-out introduced by Resolution No. 2664 aims at addressing these issues; and while the effectiveness of the carve-out will depend largely on its implementation and enforcement, the rationale behind the Resolution should be adopted as the standard for current and future sanctions regimes. This article argues that Resolution No. 2664 has the potential to transform the way sanctions are implemented and enforced, and is therefore a crucial development in the UN's effort to protect and promote human rights.
