Sanctions

Economic restrictive measures (or so-called “sanctions”) have become one of the EU's favorite and most commonly used tools of foreign policy. Sanctions are not relevant only because of their potential efficiency; they also send a clear foreign policy signal of disapproval.

 

Today, EU sanctions regimes include either thematic restrictions – such as the EU Global Human Rights Sanctions Regime – or geographic measures (Russia, Belarus, Myanmar, Iran, etc.).
 

These measures encompass a range of actions, including asset freezes, travel bans, and trade restrictions, impacting individuals, entities, or entire nations.
