1. Which are the procedures for the incorporation of Security Council Resolutions imposing sanctions into the internal legal order of your State? Are they incorporated through legislation, regulations or in any other way? Has the implementation given rise to any constitutional or other legal problems at national level? Is there any relevant case-law?
(March 2013)Since Slovenia is an EU member state, sanctions or restrictive measures imposed by binding UN Security Council resolutions are as a rule incorporated through EU legislation by EU Decisions or/and Regulations. EU Regulations, which incorporate most of the restrictive measures, are directly applicable and binding, thus no additional implementation on the national level is necessary, except for setting fines for violating EU Regulations and competent licensing authorities. Restrictive measures included in the EU (Common Foreign and Security Policy) Decisions falling within the competences of EU member states, in particular arms embargoes and travel restrictions, are implemented through relevant national legislation. At the statutory level, Slovenia adopted the Restrictive measures introduced or implemented by the republic of Slovenia in accordance with legal acts and decisions adopted within the international organisations Act (OJ RS No. 127/06, the Restrictive Measures Act), which basically delegates to the Government the power to implement restrictive measures by way of regulations. It is in these regulations that fines and competent authorities are provided for, as well as provisions for the implementation of the arms embargoes and travel restrictions.
