Strong Interest in the Fifth Intensive Course on "International Sanctions Law"

On 10 and 11 April 2025, the Professorship for Economic Criminal Law, Compliance and Digitalisation held the intensive course on "International Sanctions Law" for the fifth time.

After welcoming the speakers and participants, Prof. Dr. Konstantina Papathanasiou, LL.M., introduced seven lectures that addressed various aspects of international sanctions law.

The course began with a keynote by Prof. Dr. Iryna Venediktova, Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Ukraine to the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein, who joined live from Ukraine. Her lecture titled "States’ Assets in the Context of Responsibility for Aggression: Legal Limits of Immunity and Prospects for Its Reconsideration" was also attended by representatives from the Ukrainian Embassy in Bern.

 

 

Den Abschluss bildeten Sandra Willers und Martin Griesmyar (Financial Crime Prevention, LGT Vaduz), die über die Bedeutung und den Geltungsbereich internationaler Sanktionen referierten – mit besonderem Blick auf die Beziehungen zwischen der EU und den USA sowie deren Auswirkungen auf liechtensteinische Banken.

 

Das grosse Interesse der zahlreichen Teilnehmenden bestätigte erneut die Relevanz und Aktualität dieses komplexen Themenfelds sowie den Bedarf nach regelmässigem fachlichem Austausch. Der nächste Intensivkurs findet am 6. und 7. November 2025 statt.
