Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Economic Sanctions in EU Private International Law by Tamas Szabados
Economic sanctions are instruments of foreign policy but they also have the power to affect legal relations between private parties. In such cases the court or arbitration tribunal seized must decide whether to give effect to the economic sanction in question. A coherent EU foreign policy position would assume a uniform approach by the EU concerning the application of economic sanctions but as this book illustrates this is simply not the case. Exploring the application of economic sanctions by Member States’ courts and arbitral tribunals a surprising degree of divergence can be seen. This book argues that this can be explained by the divergence of Member States’ private international law approaches.
