Assessment of legal aspects of sanctions by America against officials and political personalities of the Islamic Republic of Iran

Le résumé fourni par la source

The option of sanction is used as a mechanism and tool to prosecute foreign policy goals. Sanction is enforced usually by countries with stable structure within international system. According to current signs and evidences of diplomatic behavior of stable countries, imposition of sanction is the more effective option than the other punitive options to prosecute foreign policy goals. The mentioned signs can be observed in foreign policies of powerful countries such as America against Islamic Republic of Iran.  In one type of sanction, the focus is on legal persons, groups and personalities instead of governments that are traditional targets in sanctions. Although these sanctions are enforced due to the international crimes and violations, but they might also be along with violation of some principles of international law. Some of Iranian natural persons have been sanctioned due to various reasons such as their involvement in nuclear program and human rights violations while it can be against some principles including the principle of inviolability of state property, the principle of diplomatic and consular inviolability, host government commitments under the Headquarters Agreement, the right of movement, the right to private property and the right to access to justice. National and regional judicial procedure indicates that these principles might lead to discredit of UN Security Council resolutions and any option considered by Sanctions Committee.
