Theme of the Book

The main theme of the book is that the new types of sanctions constitute a challenge to the international system.

Types of Sanctions

First, there are more of the targeted sanctions, including financial, travel, aviation, special commodity and arms sanctions.

Implementation Practices

Furthermore, there are considerable but varied practices in implementation. Also there are now sanctions by new actors (regional bodies, international organizations).

Challenges for International Bodies

These all put new strains on international bodies in carrying out sanctions or getting member states to work together in these efforts.

Analysis and Perspectives

These challenges are analyzed in this volume, with some examples, but mostly from a generalist perspective.

Additional Studies

A completely novel aspect is that this volume also includes studies of the difficulties that are met by targeting actors, their way of managing the situations, and most interesting, the human rights of such actors.
