Sanctions: An Introduction

Description

Sanctions represent a wide range of political and economic restrictions, implemented against countries, entities, or individuals. The goal is to maintain peace and security by influencing the behavior of who was sanctioned. The creation of sanctions is one of the last resorts, prior to any potential military action. It’s the declaration of economic and political security of a jurisdiction, and/ or international security when all diplomatic attempts have failed. Each country has its own sanctions bodies that introduce unilateral sanctions and administer and enforce them. During this training, we will go over the foundations of sanctions, who creates and impose them, the different types of sanctions and what a sanctions program looks like. This is so we can learn how they are incorporated into your roles and responsibilities.
