    The European Union Court has lifted sanctions on Iran’s Central Bank, which had been imposed on a number of Iranian financial institutions and other companies, the Financial Times reported.
    The United States and European nations have imposed severe economic sanctions on Iran in recent years accusing it of using nuclear program as a coverage for making nuclear weapons. However, Iran has denied the charges and insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.
    The Court of Justice lifted the sanctions because of lack of evidence on banks involvement in the financing of any programs to develop nuclear weapons.

    Le jugement, du 18/09/14 http://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?text=&docid=157842&pageIndex=0&doclang=fr&mode=req&dir=&oc , se fonde essentiellement sur l’absence de motivation des sanctions. Dans son raisonnement, il étend aux personnes morales et obligations étatiques la protection des droits fondamentaux (dont l’obligation de motivation des condamnations) garanties par les droits de l’homme.

    Ce jugement fait suite à deux autres jugements concernant une autre banque iranienne sanctionnée (la banque Mellat, ou Banque nationale d’Iran) allant dans le même sens : annulation des sanctions pour absence de preuves, les faits rapportés n’étant pas prouvés mais étant de simples allégations.

    On 29 January 2013, the European General Court in Luxembourg ruled to annul the European Union sanctions in place since 2010 against Bank Mellat on grounds of supporting the Iranian nuclear and missile programs, stating that the basic rights of the bank had been denied and there was no evidence supporting the claim. Bank Mellat intends to sue for damages.

    A related action in the British courts was taken to the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom in March 2013, causing the court to hold a closed hearing for the first time. In June 2013, the Supreme Court ruled that the UK government’s sanctions on the bank had been unlawful. Bank Mellat intends to claim for £500 million of damages from the UK government for loss of business between 2009 and 2013.

    Certains se demandent pourquoi la Russie n’introduit pas de recours à la Cour européenne de justice concernant les récentes sanctions…
