Sankce Evropské unie v případě porušování lidských práv

This bachelor thesis is dedicated to the comparison of selected sanction regimes in the case of human rights violations. These are Belarus, Iran, Ukraine and Venezuela. Included is a comparison of the delisting efforts of sanctioned individuals and entities. The thesis first examines the theory, detailing the nature of sanctions. They can be of different natures, whether symbolic, restrictive or signalling. It then looks at the typologies of sanctions, specifically economic sanctions, arms embargoes, travel bans and financial sanctions. It discusses the Magnitsky Act, which facilitated sanctions policy and the fight against human rights violations. It then focuses on each of the selected sanctions regimes. Each country has different reasons and different intensity of human rights violations. The European Union sanctions that are imposed when violations occur can vary in nature.
