It is being argued respectively that, bearing in mind as argued the relevant guarantees of the right to fair trial, current review procedures for those subject to the targeted financial restrictive measures cannot be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements of the fair trial, therefore current situation on the United Nations level shall be deemed incompatible with the requirements of the fundamental human rights. ; [straipsnis ir santrauka lietuvių kalba; santrauka anglų kalba] Straipsnyje ginčijama, kad Jungtinės Tautos, nustatydamos individualizuotas finansines ribojančias priemones, privalo veikti suderinamai su fundamentalių žmogaus teisių, konkrečiai– teisės į teisingą procesą– reikalavimais.
