This research examines the contemporary implications of international economic sanctions for societies under siege. Sanctions are actions taken by a government to stop other countries from trading, exchanging arms, opening overseas accounts, or traveling to other nations. It can be used to impact economic policy, such as removal channels or import taxes; affect military establishment resolutions, including weapons increases or human rights. Sanctions are consequences enforced by one country on another to stop aggressive behaviour or the violation of global regulations. They are among the strongest engagements countries take, instead of going to war.

Economic sanctions involve limitations on economic interests imposed by an international actor or another entity with a specific purpose. International sanctions are a fundamental ingredient in current universal relationships that are powerful instruments used against countries, non-state actors, and people who present a danger to universal accord and protection.
