Abstract

The consequences of the war in Ukraine have reached beyond Europe, significantly impacting regions such as the southern Mediterranean. Within this geopolitical context, Algeria—although maintaining a neutral stance in the conflict—is often perceived by Western actors as a longstanding ally of Russia. This perception has triggered political reactions in the United States, particularly among a minority group in Congress led by Representative McClain, who has suggested the possibility of imposing sanctions on Algeria. This article explores the legal nature and potential implications of such a proposal, questioning its validity and examining its alignment with international law. In doing so, we aim to assess whether the proposed measures fall within the permissible boundaries of unilateral coercive actions or constitute an overreach with no solid legal foundation. Moreover, this paper critically evaluates the broader impact of the report on regional stability, arguing that it may contribute to escalating tensions in an already fragile geopolitical landscape.
