SMART SANCTIONS AS ALTERNATIVE MEASURES TO ECONOMIC SANCTIONS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Smart sanctions serve as a tool for protecting the international community and achieving international security and stability. They act as a reaction against any unlawful activities conducted by a specific state or a group of states. The United Nations Security Council possesses broad discretionary authority in determining situations that pose a threat to or breach international peace and security, or constitute acts of aggression. Should the Council find any of the aforementioned situations to be valid, it has the authority to impose smart sanctions against an entire nation.
