Join us for our workshop on "U.S. Economic Sanctions: Navigating National Security, Foreign Policy, and Administrative Law" hosted by Center on Transnational Business and the Law. This workshop will explore the complex landscape of economic sanctions, examining the delicate balance between political objectives and legal constraints. Economic sanctions are a prominent tool in addressing national security concerns, including terrorism, nuclear proliferation, human rights abuses and the destabilization of foreign countries. But they also raise critical questions about due process, proportionality, individual human rights. Join us for an in-depth examination of how the US government formulates, administers, and enforces economic sanctions. We will explore the tension between the effectiveness of sanctions and adherence to the rule of law, using real-world examples and regulatory challenges. Moderated by Prof. Don Scott De Amicis, featuring speakers Prof. Christine Abley, Stephanie Connor, Charlie Lyons, and Francesca Finelli. Save your spot now for a comprehensive discussion on April 16, 2024, 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM EST.
