Trade Sanctions

Trade sanctions are regulations imposed by governments or international bodies to restrict or prohibit economic transactions with specific countries, entities, or individuals. Their purpose is often to influence policy changes, promote human rights, or uphold international agreements. Sanctions can include bans on imports, exports, financial transactions, or investments, aiming to pressure the targeted parties without resorting to military action. They serve as tools to address issues like illegal activities, security threats, or violations of international laws, while still allowing diplomatic engagement and enforcement through economic means.
