Holders of legal authority to sanction. Institutional and corporate entities

Abstract

There are several issues regarding this matter, such as the lack of unity of sanction law, the different holders of legal authority to sanction or the difficulties of competence distribution between national and regional authorities. This article divides the analysis into the two main categories: institutional entities and corporate entities, describing types and holders and the role of public bodies, agencies, foundations, independent administrations and then professional associations.
