International trade and sanctions regimes are complex and the costs of compliance are high. The rules vary from one regime to another and the constantly changing political landscape creates even more challenges to protect your business. The risks of violating sanctions can be severe but businesses who are aware of their key exposures can gain a critical advantage.
Using our knowledge and experience of advising clients on business critical sanctions issues, we have developed a global guide to Sanctions as part of our NRF Institute. The guide can quickly identify if a particular country is subject to certain international trade and sanctions regimes, general embargos, arms embargos and asset freeze regimes enforced by the United States, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and the EU, and provides an overview of the specific sanctions in place on individual countries affected by the different regimes.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR or the Court) recently ruled in Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz & Ors v. Switzerland (Application No. 53600/20) that Switzerland had breached the European Convention of Human Rights (the Convention) by not taking sufficient action against climate change. In particular, it found a breach of the right to respect for private and family life contained in Article 8 of the Convention, based on Switzerland’s failure to mitigate the impact of climate change on the lives, health, well-being and quality of life of its citizens. It also ruled that Switzerland had breached the right to a fair trial in terms of Article 6, in that the domestic courts failed to examine the merits of the applicants’ complaints, including the scientific evidence. In this article we consider the key features of this landmark judgment, which has wide ramifications for Member States of the Convention.
