Chapter 10 in International Sanctions in Contemporary Perspective, 1987, pp 142-148 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This study began with discussion of the circumstances in which international sanctions can be employed and the degree of authority which can be claimed by those imposing them and proceeded to examine a series of case studies in order to analyse the major problems associated with the sanctioning process. It is obvious that grey, not black or white, is the prevailing colour and a series of questions present themselves to the reader. To what extent are sanctions humbug? Is the sanctions label no more than a fig-leaf of respectability, available to all and fooling nobody? Are international rules inconsequential because they can be violated with impunity? What purposes do sanctions really serve?
