Economic Sanctions Law

Economic sanctions law refers to legal measures imposed by countries or international bodies to restrict trade, financial transactions, and other economic activities with targeted nations or entities. These sanctions aim to influence behavior, promote compliance with international law, or respond to threats, such as human rights abuses or military aggression. They can include trade embargoes, asset freezes, and restrictions on investments. While intended to pressure governments, their impact often extends to civilian populations, raising ethical and humanitarian concerns. The effectiveness and legality of sanctions can vary, and they often involve complex legal frameworks and international relations.
