The article is devoted to the consideration of the constitutional and legal regulation of the implementation of international economic and political sanctions in Sweden, as well as the mechanism of their implementation in this country. The article analyzes the basic constitutional norms regulating the legal framework for making decisions on the application of international sanctions, describes the role of the Swedish parliament (Riksdag) and the Swedish government in this process. Additionally, some Swedish executive bodies and agencies play a specific role in the procedure of implementation of the decisions on the application of international sanctions. The authors of the article describe the status and tasks of these executive structures. Despite the fact that in Sweden the application of international sanctions is carried out, primarily on the basis of the relevant resolutions adopted within the framework of the UN and the EU, the very procedure for implementing restrictive measures is regulated by a special domestic normative act — the Law on Certain International Sanctions which was adopted in February 29, 1996. The above mentioned Law is currently the main special act that describes the procedure for the implementation of international sanctions, the limits of their distribution, the list of objects that may become the subject of restrictive measures, etc. The Law on Certain International Sanctions covers violations committed on the territory of Sweden, as well as those committed by Swedish citizens abroad. Moreover, the authors pay special attention to the issues of responsibility for violation of the law on the application of international sanctions.
