Targeted financial sanctions and asset confiscation: A thorny legal path from freeze to confiscate

The objective of this contribution is to analyse existing laws, state practices
and recent precedents of asset confiscation that emerged as a continuation
of targeted financial sanctions, including proposals of partial asset
confiscation (e.g., appropriation of profits generated by the seized assets).
This analysis inevitably includes a discussion of various principles and
norms of international law: international humanitarian law, human rights
law, state immunity and state responsibility.
