sanctions regimes

Sanctions regimes are official measures imposed by governments or international organizations to influence a country's behavior. They typically restrict commerce, financial transactions, or travel to pressure a nation to change actions, such as violating human rights or violating international laws. These measures aim to deter undesirable conduct without using military force, and they can include asset freezes, trade bans, or visa restrictions. While aimed at prompting compliance or change, sanctions also impact the economy of the targeted country and can affect global markets.
