Abstract:
On January 23, 2012, in an effort to escalate economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Council of the European Union decided to impose more economic sanctions in the energy sector, including sanctions on crude oil imports from Iran in EU member states, as well as financial sanctions against the Central Bank of Iran and against natural and legal persons. Among these, the crude oil import sanction is of greater importance, necessitating that, alongside the ongoing political and economic discussions and disputes surrounding this oil sanction, its legitimacy from the perspective of international law also be examined. Is the European Union's oil sanction in line with the Security Council's sanctions against Iran? To what extent do countries and international organizations have the authority to interpret and implement Security Council resolutions? The aim of this research is to analyze and examine the European Union's action regarding the oil sanctions on Iran and its legitimacy through the interpretation of Security Council resolutions, the principles of the United Nations Charter, and also European Union regulations.
