Abstract
The timeline of the challenges to the United Nations targeted sanctions regime and the improvements in the due process rights of those affected indicates a measure of iterative interaction between the various parties. The decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the Kadi case indicate that deference to an appropriate remedy at the United Nations level is possible but it is doubtful that the remedy presently afforded by the Office of the Ombudsperson would meet the required standard without the implementation of the reforms recommended by the outgoing Ombudsperson Kimberly Prost and endorsed by the Group of Like-Minded States.
