International Sanctions Law

International sanctions law refers to legal measures imposed by countries or international organizations to influence the behavior of another country. These sanctions can include economic restrictions, trade embargoes, or diplomatic penalties, aiming to compel compliance with international norms, such as human rights or anti-terrorism efforts. In the context of external relations law, sanctions serve as tools for states to uphold international order without resorting to military action. They are typically designed to target specific individuals, entities, or sectors, ensuring pressure while minimizing harm to the general population of the sanctioned country.
