The article emphasizes the relevance of research of the institute of special economic and other restrictive measures (sanctions) and its novelty for the legal system of Ukraine. Numerous law enforcement problems, which have arisen due to the mass application of so-called sanctions to legal entities and physical persons, are outlined. The foregoing stipulates a request for theoretical studies on the essence of special economic and other restrictive measures and procedures for their application.

The task of this article is to research legal principles of application of the institute of special economic and other restrictive measures, correlation of the sanction application procedure with the provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine.

The provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On sanctions”, the adoption of which in 2014 allowed to introduce this institute into the legal system of Ukraine, are studied. The attention is paid to the difficulties, which have arisen during the mass application of the provisions of the law from 2020 and the reasons for such difficulties, specifically drawbacks of legal regulation and the absence of profound theoretical groundwork. The applicable normative regulation of the institute of sanctions, the procedure of sanction imposition are analyzed in the presented article, grounds for impositions of special economic and other restrictive measures are regarded. The authorities of the National Security and Defense Council and the President of Ukraine in terms of imposition of sanctions through the prism of the status of these bodies in the legal system of Ukraine are analyzed.

As the result of the research, the conclusion is made that a Decree of the President of Ukraine is an act of individual action, which entails legal consequences, and therefore the President of Ukraine is subject of adopting a decision on the imposition of special economic and other restrictive measures. At the same time positions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine as the only body of constitutional jurisdiction over the powers of the President of Ukraine are analyzed. As the result of the provided analysis the conclusion is made, that the applicable Constitution of Ukraine does not foresee the authorities of the President of Ukraine to apply special economic and other restrictive measures to legal entities and physical persons. The attention is focused on other problems of law enforcement and the conclusion about the necessity of further study of legal nature of institute of sanctions in Ukraine.
