On 8 March, the Centre for International Humanitarian and Operational Law (CIHOL) together with the Faculty of Law of the University of Ljubljana held a combined workshop on ‘Legal and Practical Challenges to National Implementation of EU Sanctions concerning the Situation in Ukraine’. The workshop was hosted by the Faculty of Law of the University of Ljubljana and joined academics and State practitioners to consider challenges arising from EU sanctions implementation. Speakers included Prof. Dr Gerhard Hafner from the University of Vienna, Dr Marko Rakovec of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of Slovenia, and Dr Clara Portela from the University of Valencia. The workshop gathered academics and practitioners from seven EU States for inputs.

​

The workshop was followed by a roundtable discussion chaired by CIHOL’s Dr Martin Faix, which provided a platform for public engagements with experts and practitioners.

The workshop forms part of ongoing cooperation between CIHOL and the Faculty of Law at the University of Ljubljana in the context of legal issues arising from the war in Ukraine.
