چکیده:
This article examines the subject of economic sanctions, particularly US sanctions against Iran. The question raised is whether US economic sanctions against Iran are valid and legitimate from the perspective of international law? The goal is to research and scrutinize various aspects of the Damato Law, which raises questions regarding the conflict of laws and the jurisdiction of US courts over disputes between the United States and foreign companies. The effort will be made to answer these questions: whether a justification for the exercise of US extraterritorial jurisdiction can be found in public international law, and whether international law imposes limitations on the unilateral implementation of US efforts or not. Our argument will be that US policy, given the economic sanctions, is contrary to the establishment of the international trading system, and the unilateral implementation of international law by that country is illegitimate.
خلاصه ماشینی:
Bill Clinton, the then President of the United States, also by issuing another executive order on March 16, 1995, once again declared trade sanctions against Iran, under which American companies and their foreign branches were prohibited from investing in Iran's oil development projects.
In fact, the goal of the Damato Act is neither terrorism nor its supporters, but rather creating pressure on the oil industries of Iran and Libya in order to force America's commercial partners to behave in accordance with the implementation mechanism of United States foreign policy.
(47, Rules of the Council of the European Union, 29/11/1996) The purpose of these regulations, which have been adopted against the impact of the extraterritorial application of the Damato Act, is to neutralize the unacceptable effects of US sanction laws on the European Union and to protect the interests of Union citizens who engage in international trade and commercial activities between Union members and third countries (48, Alikhani, p.
172-173) The use of economic sanctions by the United States is increasingly a clear infringement on the sovereign rights of other countries and the legitimate interests of companies and nationals under their jurisdiction, which occurs by limiting their sovereign right to pursue an independent trade policy.
Due to the unreasonable and illogical nature of the extraterritorial application of the Damato Law regarding foreign companies trading with Iran, it can be considered an unfriendly act and a violation of the principles and rules of international courtesy.
