Book Synopsis

The monetary and financial dimensions of economic sanctions have become critical components of sanctions strategies. A wider range of monetary and financial assets, entities (including central banks), and services are now targeted. Financial institutions, infrastructures, regulators and central banks play an increasingly influential role in shaping sanctions channels. Furthermore, sanctions may have significant impacts on financial obligations. This book, prepared under the auspices of the International Monetary Law Committee of the International Law Association (Mocomila), is the first to focus on the unexplored financial and monetary law aspects of economic sanctions and examine their impact on central banks and payment systems.
