Sanctions

Sanctions are a critical tool in international relations employed by countries and international organisations to influence the behaviour of states or non-state actors, often to maintain or restore international peace and security. Understanding the purpose and types of sanctions, as well as the various international and regional regimes that implement them, is essential for comprehending their impact on global politics and the day-to-day lives of citizens.

This module focuses on the mechanisms of sanctions, the risks associated with them, and the methods used to ensure compliance and prevent evasion. These topics are highlighted with relevant examples from recent high-profile cases such as those involving Russia, North Korea, and the Gaza Strip.

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

• identify the purpose of imposing sanctions and differentiate between the types of sanctions;

• distinguish the applicability of the relevant sanctions regime, including any recent sanction regime;

• recognise sanctions evasion techniques; and

• recognise the risk for non-compliance with sanctions and detect sanctions risks.
