European Union (EU) sanctions

EU sanctions are measures taken by the European Union to influence the behavior of other countries, organizations, or individuals, typically to promote international security, human rights, or political stability. These can include freezing assets, restricting travel, or banning trade with targeted entities. The goal is to pressure changes without military action. Sanctions are coordinated among EU member states and are based on international law, aiming to uphold shared values and security interests while minimizing harm to ordinary civilians.
