摘要

ALTHOUGH IN RELATION WITH OTHER ASPECTS OF INTERNATIONAL INTERVENTION IN THE WAR THAT TOOK PLACE IN THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA BETWEEN 1991 AND 1995 THERE WERE MAJOR DIFFERENCES IN VISION BETWEEN THE PRINCIPAL INTERNATIONAL ACTORS INVOLVED (MAINLY, THE UNITED NATIONS, THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE UNITED STATES) – WHICH OFTEN TURNED INTO SOURCES OF DISSENSION ?, REGARDING THE ISSUE OF SANCTIONS THERE WAS, IN GENERAL, A SURPRISING CONSENSUS. THUS, THE ECONOMIC AND COMERCIAL SANCTIONS IMPOSED UPON THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA WERE SEEN, OVER THE COURSE OF THREE AND A HALF YEARS, AS AN IMPORTANT FOREIGN POLICY INSTRUMENT FOR ACHIEVING A NEGOTIATED PEACE. IN THIS CONTEXT, THIS ARTICLE WILL TRY TO DETERMINE THE RELATION BETWEEN THE OBJECTIVES, THE RESULTS AND THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE SANCTIONS POLICY THAT WAS PURSUED IN THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA BY THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.
