Abstract

Unilateral international sanctions can be defined as sanctions imposed by a state or group of states on a state or group of states unilaterally, directly or indirectly, without the authorization of the United Nations Security Council with the aim of pressuring the target state to change its policies or behavior, These sanctions have implications for human rights in general, and especially on vulnerable groups in society who are powerless and cannot avoid these effects, such as women and children, as this group needs someone to help them and provide them with legal protection at the international level.
