Published in German.
In times of worldwide economic interdependence, economic sanctions are the instrument of choice to counter violations of international law by states, even if they affect the population first. International trade law, an increasing materialization of sovereignty and the non-intervention principle, the law of counter-measures, basic and human rights and proportionality provide the basis as well as limitations for their use.
