Economic sanctions against Syria

Economic sanctions against Syria are measures imposed by countries or international organizations to pressure the Syrian government to change its policies or behavior. These sanctions can include restrictions on trade, investments, financial transactions, and the sale of certain goods like weapons or technology. The goal is to encourage political change, address human rights violations, or deter ongoing conflicts. While intended to influence government actions, sanctions can also impact Syrian civilians by limiting access to goods, services, and economic opportunities, often raising concerns about humanitarian effects.
