| International sanctions are restrictive measures imposed by governments or multilateral organizations to influence the behavior of specific countries, entities, or individuals that are deemed to pose a threat to global security, international law, or diplomatic stability. These measures may include trade restrictions, asset freezes, financial transaction bans, travel prohibitions, or limitations on access to global markets. Sanctions are typically used as a non-military tool to address issues such as terrorism, human rights violations, nuclear proliferation, or geopolitical conflicts, while encouraging compliance with international norms and regulations. |
