UpRights takes part in “Sanctions, Remittances, and (in)Security”
20-05-2024
On Wednesday, May 15, 2024, UpRights’ David Kinnecome took part in the event, “Sanctions, Remittances, and (in)Security: Legal Conundrums, Financial Paradoxes, and Humanitarian Puzzles,” organized by the Asser Institute and the University of Leiden.
Throughout the day, the conference brought together students, officials, practitioners, and scholars to explore the intricate interplay between international law and sanctions authority, the nuanced role of financial systems as conduits within the sanctions landscape, and the emergence of novel strategies employed by major powers to circumvent existing sanctions frameworks.
As part of the roundtable on ‘Sanctions and the Pursuit of Accountability for International Crimes: Critical Reflections’, David addressed the pivotal issue of utilizing sanctions-related funds to facilitate compensation for victims of such crimes, underscoring the imperative of ensuring tangible restitution within sanction regimes.
As we reflect on the rich discourse and insights garnered from yesterday’s proceedings, we are reminded of the imperative to continue fostering dialogue and collaboration within the realm of sanctions scholarship and practice.
Let’s meet.
