TARGETED SANCTIONS OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL AND THE RIGHT OF THE TARGET INDIVIDUALS TO A FAIR PROCESS

Author

Abstract

The evolution of the Security Council sanctions approach and its focus on individuals, groups and legal persons instead of States as traditional targets of the sanctions, and the procedures of adding a name to the consolidate list of a sanctions committee and removing it from that list without respecting the basic standards of the right to a fair trail or process, has provoked serious critics considering the Council legal obligation in this regard. While these procedures were amended, under the pressure from the General Assembly, European Countries, European Union and the others, but are not yet enough to meet the demands of the right to a fair trail or process.
