Abstract
This Report represents the output of a yearlong study of targeted sanctions. The participants of the three Working Groups are government officials, experts from the private sector and non-governmental organizations, members of the United Nations Secretariat, and academics. The content of this report does not express the unified view of the participants, but rather, offers ideas that many found useful for consideration. The responsibility for the content rests with the overall coordinator of the process and other involved researchers of the Department of Peace and Conflict Research, Uppsala University. Furthermore, the Report suggests, but does not attempt to impose, proposals for consideration by various segments of the international
community (the Security Council, Sanctions Committees, Expert Panels, Member States and implementing authorities). These proposals are not meant to encroach on the authority of the Security Council to determine the measures it may wish to impose in any given situation under the Charter of the United Nations.
