International Sanction: Devices to checkmate Aggressive Tension of Worldwide.

Since the end of the Cold War, multilateral sanctions have been honed and refined and have evolved in important ways. The number of cases, types of targets and purposes have expanded. Beginning in 1992, sanctions have moved gradually away from the comprehensive  model, often including a general trade embargo, and their associated humanitarian impact, toward targeting leaders and decision-makers responsible for defying international norms. Security Council sanctions have been in the spotlight lately with respect to Al Qaida-Taliban, Côte d'Ivoire, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), Iran, and Libya, with significant expansion  of traditional targeted sanctions in some cases. These cases highlight both the increasing utility of the tool and perennial questions about the future of Security Council sanctions in the face of the ever-changing geopolitical landscape, the complexities and resilience of some cur rent targets, pervasive misperceptions, and other challenges to sanctions' legitimacy, credibility, and effectiveness.

Models of international Sanction Davices

Trade/Investment Restrictions: This category may encompass restrictions on exports of certain types  of services or technology, investment in particular  sectors and imports of certain items. Generally the restrictions are more limited than those in the “Trade  Restrictions” category in the U.S. checklist. 

3 Asset Freeze/Travel Restrictions: The EU typically imposes a freeze of assets or restrictions on travel (admission) to the EU only with respect to specified  individuals or entities. For example, in the case of  Moldova, the sanctions in this category are applied  only to persons responsible for the campaign against  Latinscript schools in the Transnistrian region and are valid until September 30, 2014. 

4 Arms and Related Materiel Embargo: The EU often imposes restrictions in this category in accordance with U.N. Security Council Resolutions, as is the case with respect to Sudan. 

Comprehensive Sanctions: These countries are subject to far-reaching economic sanctions implemented by the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”). The restrictions potentially affect nearly all dealings by U.S. persons in property of the listed countries,

Financial Sanctions: U.S. persons may not conduct financial transactions with these countries and their entities. All of these restrictions are implemented by OFAC. 

 Specially Designated Nationals (Individuals and Organizations): U.S. persons are restricted in their ability to engage in transactions with specially designated nationals, or SDNs (a group that includes specified individuals and entities and vessels), wherever they may be located. The  

countries listed are those countries in which SDNs are specifically referenced. In addition to persons linked to these countries, the SDN list also includes individuals, entities and vessels, wherever located, that are regarded as terrorists, narcotics traffickers or proliferators of weapons of mass destruction or as contributing to these activities. An up-to-date list of SDNs is maintained by the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. See Examples  (source Checklists of Foreign Countries Subject to Sanctions)
