Examining the legality of EU restrictive measures on the Russian Federation: the information gathering process in sanction imposition

Given the complex nature of restrictive measures, it’s crucial to carry out a comprehensive analysis of their legal basis, as well as the potential consequences that may result from their application.

It ensures that while punitive measures are taken to maintain international order, they are carried out within the limits of the law in order to safeguard the rights of all individuals and entities involved.
