La Corte internazionale di giustizia e l'incompatibilità con fini umanitari di talune sanzioni economiche unilaterali

The International Court of Justice and the Incompatibility with Humanitarian Needs of Certain Unilateral Economic Sanctions. In its Order of 3 October 2018 on the Request for the indication of provisional measures submitted by Iran in the case concerning Alleged Violations of the 1955 Treaty of Amity, Economic Relations, and Consular Rights (Islamic Republic of Iran v. United States of America), the International Court of Justice unanimously affirmed that the economic sanctions adopted by the Trump Administration against Iran were likely to have irreparable consequences on the humanitarian needs of the Iranian population. It thus indicated provisional measures aimed at their removal. The Order offers to the Author the starting point for a more general discussion of the compatibility of the measures adopted by the U.S. against Iran with certain fundamental values of the international legal order as well as with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and UN Security Council Resolution 2231 (2015).
