Challenging sanctionsFor developed countries, including the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada, sanctions have become the common tool of choice to exercise in their foreign policy. In most cases, the real goal of sanctions is the reasonable correction of the targeted countries’ or individuals’ behavior and the protection of law and human rights, which is commonly recognized as justified measures by professionals across the globe.While financial and other sanctions

as justified measures by professionals across the globe.While financial and other sanctions can be applied towards countries, institutions, companies and individuals, there is a clear trend towards their individualization and discrimination, as imposing bodies try to avoid punishing the general population and focus on detached violators.

of isolation and typically include visa bans, freezing of bank accounts, asset seizure and business limitations. Western countries have proved to be very reluctant when it comes to lifting or refining their sanctions lists so it takes a lot of time and patience for the targets to wait till their status is changed. This typically happens under the influence of changing political circumstances but even after removal of sanctions, accused people frequently face long-lasting impact and consequences

after removal of sanctions, accused people frequently face long-lasting impact and consequences caused by the respective reputational and formal (multilateralism, database updates, corporate blacklisting, etc.) issues.Although there are ongoing discussions about the effectiveness of sanctions, Status Law firmly believes that they are an important instrument helping to fight violation of human rights and international law in developing countries.

Our company is proud of being a part of common lobbying effort for implementation of sanctions against criminal authorities in different regions of the world – from Venezuela to China – and strives to fight the systematic abuse of power, often on a pro bono basis.

Such accidents are unfair and, if not resolved quickly, undermine the trust in democratic principles and universality of human rights.That is why Status Law provides legal and communications support to a limited number of qualified, strictly examined individuals who claim to be unjustifiably included in sanctions lists.

Extradition defensePeople unlawfully prosecuted and accused of offences in non-democratic countries who try to hide in the regions with independent judicial system commonly face the situation where inappropriate extradition requests are surprisingly quickly approved by the local courts without thorough review of the case. This results in their extradition to the places where their verdict is predetermined by non-legal factors, where they are accused of a crime they have not committed and their

by non-legal factors, where they are accused of a crime they have not committed and their case can not be objectively reviewed by default. This established practice allows corrupt regimes and their beneficiaries to successfully deal with every person who is going against their interests under the guise of justice. Unfortunately, even the most objective judges who review the extradition cases in developed countries tend not to challenge the status quo because established procedures require them

countries tend not to challenge the status quo because established procedures require them to check only the formal side of the case (which is typically met by the requests they receive) while local attorneys lack the particular knowledge of the defendant’s real situation in the country of origin.Status Law has won multiple extradition cases defending our clients from unlawful extradition from European Union member states to developing countries, including China, Russia, Azerbaijan, Iran,

Although Interpol’s mechanisms were created to coordinate fight with terrorism, organized crime, cybercrime and other forms of criminal activity, their imperfection is now regularly used by corrupt authorities across the world for politically and economically motivated persecutions.

Reputation protectionAlthough judges in democratic countries do maintain a high degree of autonomy, their decisions are still somewhat influenced by a combination of “soft”, hidden external forces – especially, when it comes to the review of extradition requests and management of international prosecution issues. Such factors as public opinion, media attention, political context, the position of the other branches of power and international relations heavily impact their decisions regarding

of the other branches of power and international relations heavily impact their decisions regarding non-citizens as their presence in the country of stay is by default not usually desirable.Negative or positive media coverage of the cases significantly increases the probability that the court will decide not to go against the popular mood and will make the ruling which will meet social expectations, even if the evidence in the client’s case does not support them.

even if the evidence in the client’s case does not support them. In addition, even if the lawyers will manage to convince the court to ignore the negative press and win the case, existing reputational problems can severely affect the quality of the client’s life and his/her reputation and privacy in the country of refuge. The obvious reason is that in contrast to judges, other key figures are less limited by formalities and can act based on their own or society attitudes.Corrupt authorities in

limited by formalities and can act based on their own or society attitudes.Corrupt authorities in some developing countries are well aware that in contrast to their jurisdiction, information today does not have geographical borders and can be effectively used by social media to ruin their enemies’ personal or brand reputation both at home and abroad.

media of a requesting country will try to discredit the persecuted person or company at the international level via multiple tools, including biased case coverage in multiple languages, online using websites, defamation, dissemination of fake news, use of internet trolls, cooperation with the local media and attempts to bribe journalists. Unfortunately, legal mechanisms can seldom block and control this activity because the developed countries frequently consider it to be protected by the right

this activity because the developed countries frequently consider it to be protected by the right to freedom of speech, so the only effective way for the persecuted person or people to address the issue is to simultaneously defend themselves both in the court and in the media, seeking their reputation protection by monitoring search results online, google online reviews, managing content on the web and social media.In contrast to most other companies, Status Law defends our clients’ reputation
