Abstract

tions concerning unilateral sanctions that affect the rights of the people in third countries are contrary to international law”. Further, the analysis illustrates that unilateral sanctions may contravene principles specific to an international law regime, such as WTO agreements or regional investment agreements and principles of non-discrimination which are included in various international treaties. The Draft Declaration on the Rules of International Law on Unilateral Sanctions has been appended to the book and includes the important conclusions, which should be considered by international forums and, as the book itself notes, with much needed dialogue.
