Publishers Abstract:
Today the United Nations (UN) no longer enacts its security policy only within the framework of a 'State-centered' paradigm, that is, with regard to nations which are hostile to or dangerous for the maintenance of peace. A long sequence of UN Security Council (UNSC) resolutions enact sanctions against individuals. The effects of this paradigm shift are not limited to the difficulties it revealed in the 'constitution' of the UN and the concomitant necessity of reform. For several years now, UN sanctions against individuals have been implemented primarily through European Union measures. The sanctions that have gained the greatest prominence are those the EU has imposed in the process of implementing UNSC Resolution 1373/2001. The decisions of the Court of First Instance in Yusuf, Kadi and Ayadi remain firmly anchored on the categories of the first model with regard to the question how the EU will position itself in the future within the architecture of international security.
