Ushakov, S.V. Sovereignty of states in international law and the problem of economic discrimination (taking American policy towards Cuba as an example).

Abstract: Sovereignty of the state is one of key elements of its independence, which allows to differ it from other political entities and dependent territories. After the war was eliminated as a mean for conflict resolution, the states of the XXI century have guarantees of their sovereignty from aggression and encroachments of other states. However, currently there’s a practice of transfer from the territorial expansion to economical pressure and coercion, economic sanctions from stronger developed states towards the weaker states. This article includes analysis of economic sanctions of the USA towards Cuba, and some legal acts of the USA, which provide for such sanctions. Keywords: jurisprudence, sovereignty, jurisdiction, expansion, UN, embargo, sanctions, GATT, NAFTA, discrimination
