sanctions regime

A sanctions regime is a set of measures imposed by governments or international organizations to influence or restrict the actions of a country, individual, or entity. Typically aimed at encouraging compliance with international laws or policies, sanctions can include trade restrictions, freezing assets, or travel bans. The goal is to apply pressure without military force, promoting diplomatic solutions or protecting national and global security interests. These measures are often used in response to issues like human rights violations, terrorism, or nuclear proliferation, and are part of efforts to uphold international norms and safety.
