UN SANCTIONS AGAINST YUGOSLAVIA - AN ETHICAL ANALYSIS

Summary/Abstract: UN-Sanctions against our country are defined as a sort of siege and therefore as a war act. But the stress is put on the moral side of such sort of acts. Beside some very high valuable tactical or strategical points (very' low costs, some possibilities of destmetion which may not otherwise be achieved - perhaps even not in the outright war. etc.) there are several negative moral outcomes of applying sanctions, not only for the oppressed but also for oppressors. Five of those outcomes are analvlised in the text: easy manipulation, paternalizam. abandonment of strict moral criteria, general lowering of moral conscience (servility, slave-consciousness, arrogance), and ubiquitous rise of violence.
