	Sanctions (law) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sanctions are usually monetary fines, levied against a party to a legal action or his attorney, for violating rules of procedure, or for abusing the judicial process.
		The most severe sanction is the involuntary dismissal, with prejudice, of the complaining party's cause of action, or of the responding party's answer.
		A judge may "sanction" a party during a legal proceeding, by which it is meant that he imposes penalties.

	INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS - New Regulations
		Intermediate sanctions may be imposed in lieu of, or in addition to, revocation of an organization's exempt status.

	Hans Köchler -- Ethical Aspects of Sanctions in International Law
		The considerations of the present ethical and legal evaluation are devoted primarily to comprehensive economic sanctions in accordance with the provisions of Chapter VII of the UN Charter.
		Comprehensive economic sanctions which heavily impact the life and health of the civilian population need to be analyzed from an ethical standpoint before a normative evaluation of the current practice in international law can be undertaken.
		It is astonishing to the legal philosopher that the sanctions policy is not measured against the normative rules of international humanitarian law despite the fact that this policy is de facto constitutive of a war strategy, i.e.

	2. USE OF ADMINISTRATIVE SANCTIONS IN FISHERIES LAW
		Sanctions include fines and additional penalties ranging from confiscation of catches, gear and vessel to cancellation from the register of fishermen as well as cancellation of licences or authorizations for a period not exceeding 6 months or forever in case of subsequent offences.
		The law, which was amended in 2000, sets out a number of violations to be sanctioned with fines, revocation of licences, confiscation of catches and gear, etc. According to the law, the various administrative fisheries departments and authorities are responsible for imposing the penalties, including “on the spot” decisions.
		In imposing a sanction with respect to the permit itself, the Secretary is required to take into account the gravity of the prohibited acts for which the sanction is imposed and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability and any history of prior offences.

	Rule of Law Threats - Unpublished Nonopinions and Inherent Power Sanctions
		Rule of law and due process are the bedrock upon which all American liberty and justice are based.
		At that time, all court rulings always had an opinion written with it explaining the law as it applied to the decision made by the court and detailing the reasons upon which the judgment was based.
		When the practice of inherent power sanctions are combined with affirmance without opinion, it allows district courts to ignore the law and the appellate court to sweep the unlawful action under the rug without saying why.

	Debating the Law of Sanctions
		Sanctions of this description were imposed on Haiti and Iraq, but were soon linked to widespread suffering.
		The debate among lawyers then turned to how sanctions could or should be limited, perhaps based on human rights law, humanitarian law, or the law governing unilateral sanctions.
		From this debate the principle of proportionality is emerging as a general limitation on coercion and force in international law.

	SANCTIONS
		Furthermore, the contention that it may disregard international humanitarian law is incorrect both by application of the Nuremberg Principles (adopted by the International Law Commission of the United Nations in 1950 and ratified by New Zealand) and by application of the law relating to vires.
		If an individual acting alone would be in breach of international law, the fact that he is acting in concert with others will not legalise his acts, even if the group he belongs to is a recognised and respected one with wide delegated powers from its members.
		The sanctions alone would not amount to siege warfare, but the blockade forcibly preventing goods from entering or leaving Iraq and the prohibition on Iraqis using their own funds held abroad provide the element of force required to bring the blockade/sanctions regime within the concept of siege warfare.

	Hans Köchler: Ethical Aspects of Sanctions in International Law
		It remains undisputed that sanctions receive legal recognition as specific countermeasures to violations of international law and that, in the event of such a violation, contractual obligations to the "law-breaking" state which otherwise apply are invalidated.
		Indeed, comprehensive economic sanctions seem to be the "classical" instruments for inducing submission in the power politics of the so-called "New World Order"14 - and instruments whose permissibility must be critically examined from the standpoint of ethics as well as of international law.
		Comprehensive economic sanctions, however - in contrast to partial sanctions - do not by their very nature allow for a differentiation between the "civilian population" and the government (or specific governmental institutions) whose policies are to be influenced through the sanctions.

	civil discovery sanctions law continuing legal education law statutes rules evidence.
		Although sanctions were clearly justified in keeping with the purpose, function and statutory scheme, there was no clear authority for imposing sanctions and the court did not rely on sanctions authority in C.C.P.§2025.
		Prior law required moving party to show wilful violation or failure without substantial justification but such was defined by the case law as knowledge of duty, ability to comply, and failure to comply; real burden was on the derelict party to justify its failure.
		Here, the judge's utilization of the dismissal sanction was not only appropriate on the facts of this case, but was a realistic measure undertaken to protect the integrity of the pending litigation and the Superior Court, as well as to send an appropriate message to those who would so abuse the courts of the Commonwealth.

	Current U.S. Sanctions Law--free trade, unilateral and economic trade sanctions
		Careful reading of the public law text is required to determine the intent of the sanctions, what triggers their imposition, the extent of the sanction, and what is required to have the restrictions lifted.
		Many of the restrictions of foreign assistance will be found in the FY1998 foreign operations appropriations act; such a law is enacted anew each fiscal year (or, in absence of an appropriations act, a continuing resolution may extend the terms of a previous law).
		For specific countries, any law written specifically to address conditions in, or relations with, that country would apply, but other laws of general effect written to address an issue might apply to that country as well.
