United Nations Security Council sanctions

United Nations Security Council sanctions are measures imposed by the UN to maintain or restore international peace and security. They can include restrictions such as arms embargoes, trade limits, travel bans, or financial asset freezes targeting specific countries, organizations, or individuals. The goal is to compel compliance with international laws or resolutions, especially in cases of aggression, human rights violations, or nuclear proliferation. Sanctions are part of the UN's efforts to prevent conflicts and promote global stability while encouraging dialogue and diplomacy.
