Description

Economic sanctions have increasingly become a favoured method through which international organisations and sovereigns, including the United States, attempt to accomplish their foreign policy goals. Enforcement of sanctions regimes by different sovereigns inevitably intersects with interesting issues of competing foreign policy objectives, global trade and conflicting legal systems. Addressing recent developments in the Huawei and other cases, this panel sheds light on how international sanctions may develop into the new norm for geopolitical tensions and conflict.
