Penalties in international law

Abstract

Although sanctions are a legal measure, they are taken against countries that violate the rules of international law in general. And the ruling regimes in particular, but it is noticeable that they are useless in many cases, because their impact on the political regimes is limited, while the greatest harm falls on the people of these regimes.
As for unilateral measures involving the imposition of sanctions, by one state against another state or on individuals or institutions, they are considered illegal. It constitutes a clear violation of the rules of international law and the Charter of the United Nations.
It is of legal importance to shed light on the legality of these procedures, and the legal reference for them in the light of international law. With regard to its negative effects on the people of these regimes imposed on sanctions, and the violations they represent of human rights, they amount to the commission of described international crimes. Accordingly, the subject of penalties - penalties - will be dealt with in two sections.
The first topic: the definition of the international ban and sanctions system in international law.
- The second topic: international sanctions and their effects
