Dunno. Are there any illegal ways to pass sanctions as laws? I mean governments are caught all the time breaking their own laws. I wouldn't put it passed congress to break the very laws they themselves have passed in complicity because they all benefit from it in some way.

Most western governments are held accountable to their own laws. This is why Trump is in the bother he is in today. There are always going to be one or two slippery characters, but versus the autocracies in the world, they have a much higher hit rate.
