The Legality of Executive Orders 13628 and 13645: A Bipartite Analysis

handle is hein.journals/emint29 and id is 729 raw text is: THE LEGALITY OF EXECUTIVE ORDERS 13628 AND 13645: A BIPARTITE ANALYSIS ABSTRACT Executive Orders 13628 and 13645 contribute questionable sanctions to the United States' arsenal. Once again, the President has unilaterally and unlawfully enlarged the United States'global authority, as the latest sanctions threaten third-party states and innocent Iranians. In order to comply with international law, the United States must eliminate any provision directly regulating a non-U.S. citizen's conduct outside the United States while simultaneously limiting the scope of prohibited conduct. Under international law, a state's authority to impose sanctions correlates with international law 's recognition of sovereignty, but rarely has legality simultaneously been tied to human rights. his Comment attempts to do so with respect to Executive Orders 13628 and 13645. The Executive Orders will be dissected by first clarifying sanction and then by focusing on the traditional principles that establish jurisdiction- nationality and territoriality. However, since sovereignty and human rights are not mutually exclusive, this Comment continues by addressing the second argument for illegality-overly comprehensive prohibitions. The conclusions drawn herein illustrate the importance of contemporaneous sovereignty and human rights analyses, as well as why the United Nations makes the best imposer ofsanctions.
