United Nations Financial Sanctions
This book presents insightful perspectives on the invocation, implementation and application of UN-approved financial sanctions and related issues.
With contributions from academics, diplomats and UN panel experts, Yoshimura offers an analysis of how the UN financial sanctions have evolved, the different roles of various major international actors in agreeing and deploying them, and their success in achieving desired outcomes. It also sheds light on a vital role of Japan in the formulation and deployment of financial sanctions, as the third largest economy in the world with very limited armed forces and a pacifist constitution.
Offering valuable consideration into one of the key implements of international law, this is an essential guide for scholars and practitioners in Diplomacy and International Relations.
Sachiko Yoshimura is professor of International Law and Organizations at the School of International Studies, Kwansei Gakuin University, Japan.
