  • Summary

    This chapter examines the intricate legal landscape governing the imposition and enforcement of US economic and financial measures. It navigates emergency laws, spotlighting acts like the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917 and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977, revealing their jurisdiction over US persons. Shifting to non-emergency laws, it explains milestones like the National Security Act of 1947 and the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, outlining the boundaries of presidential powers via export restrictions and the Exports Administration Act of 1979. The chapter also examines presidential powers delving into arms control, non-proliferation, international trade, and culminates in analyzing financial sanctions involving private transactions as well as credit and investment transactions of international financial institutions.
