Ukládání individuálně cílených sankcí na státní představitele

The diploma thesis examines the position of state officials in relation to individually targeted travel and financial sanctions. International individually targeted sanctions are currently one of the most widely used means of coercion international law provides. Both individual states and international organizations can resort to the use of these means of coercion. The thesis is based on the empirical finding that although state officials have a special position in relation to the jurisdiction of other states, these individuals are included in the sanction lists of individual sanction regimes. Currently, the European Union, the United Nations and the United States of America are among the most important administrators of sanctioning regimes and broadcasters of individually targeted sanctions. The analysis of individual cases of imposition of targeted sanctions on selected state officials, together with theoretical research of their position under international law, should answer the research question, and thus how to define the position of these individuals in relation to travel and financial sanctions and whether current sanction regimes grant special position to state officials.
