Economic Sanctions

Economic sanctions are measures imposed by countries to influence or punish other nations for specific behaviors, such as human rights violations or aggression. They often involve restricting trade, investing, or accessing financial systems, making it harder for the targeted country to conduct business or obtain resources. Sanctions can target specific industries, individuals, or entities and aim to apply pressure without resorting to military action. While intended to promote change, sanctions can also have unintended effects, impacting the civilian population and the global economy.
