In Western sanctions on Russia, Russian overseas assets have become important goals. After the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine conflict, Western countries led by the United States established a cooperation mechanism for special follow -up and seizure of Russia's sanctions on individuals and physical assets in March. According to data released by the US Department of Justice, as of the end of June, the United States and its allies have frozen Russian oligopoly assets of more than $ 30 billion and frozen about $ 300 billion in Russian central bank assets.

Western countries led by the United States frozen Russian assets are frozen. Its legal basis is to implement sanctions against Russia in its own country or the so -called international community, but it is no conclusion that it is not concluded after the frozen seizure of Russia's assets. It should be pointed out that some countries, including Germany, have formulated strict legal restrictions on the government's confiscation of property. Unless there is a court judgment, the government shall not casually deprive the ownership of the original owner and handle property.

In June of this year, Canada passed the new budget implementation case, authorizing the government to confiscate and sell the assets of the sanctions. The implementation of the budget implementation of the budget means that Canada has turned on a green light at the domestic legal level.

The British "Financial Times" recently published an article calling for "in accordance with the law" to dispose of Russian assets. The article states that Western democratic and rule of law society must have balances and protect the confidence of international investors. In an interview, Francis Boyl, a professor of international law at the University of Illinois: "According to international law, if you want to confiscate property, any country in the United States, the European Union or other alliances must officially declare war on Russia. Even in this case, they His hands will still be bound by the constitutional request of the country. "He also said that if it is confiscated without formal declaration of war, Russia will take countermeasures for countries that confiscate their property. (Wang Pinzhi)
