United Nations Security Council (UNSC) sanctions

United Nations Security Council sanctions are measures applied to promote international peace and security, typically targeting countries, groups, or individuals violating peace or engaging in harmful activities. These sanctions can include travel bans, asset freezes, arms embargoes, or trade restrictions, aiming to pressure entities into compliance without use of force. They are legally binding for UN member states and are designed to encourage peaceful resolutions by limiting resources and opportunities for harmful actions. Overall, UNSC sanctions serve as a diplomatic tool to uphold global stability and discourage conflict.
