Abstract
Security Council resolution 757 (May 1992) imposing sanctions against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) is the most comprehensive set of measures ever implemented by the United Nations.1 From the outset, the package aimed at politically and symbolically evicting the country from the community of nations. An almost complete trade embargo2 was the backbone of Res. 757, coupled with a prohibition of fund transfers to and from Yugoslavia, the rupture of air traffic, and the suspension of all officially sponsored scientific and technical cooperation and cultural exchanges. The resolution also required UN members to reduce staff levels at Yugoslav diplomatic and consular missions and banned Yugoslav sports teams from competing in international events.
