AUST, Helmut Philipp. Between Self-Assertion and Deference: European Courts and their Assessment of UN Security Council Resolutions. Anu. Mex. Der. Inter [online]. 2008, vol.8, pp.51-77. ISSN 1870-4654.

European courts have faced a number of judicial proceedings which challenge the implementation of UN Security Council resolutions. The contribution describes the attitude the European court of First Instance has adopted towards the implementation of targeted sanctions. Up to now the European Court of First Instance has declined to impose European standards on the UN Security Council but has at the same time affirmed the jus cogens limits to the Council's powers.
