Sanctions penalties are measures imposed by governments or international organizations on individuals, entities, or countries that have violated specific laws or policies. These penalties are designed to deter further wrongdoing and can range in severity depending on the nature and extent of the violation. Common forms of sanctions penalties include financial restrictions, such as asset freezes or prohibitions on financial transactions, and trade limitations, which can involve embargoes or restrictions on the import or export of certain goods and services. Travel bans, preventing targeted individuals from entering specific countries, are also a frequent component of sanctions regimes. In some cases, sanctions penalties can extend to diplomatic measures, such as the expulsion of diplomats or the suspension of diplomatic relations. The enforcement of sanctions penalties often involves a combination of legal, financial, and intelligence-gathering efforts to ensure compliance and identify evasion. The ultimate goal of sanctions penalties is to compel a change in behavior by imposing economic, political, or social costs on the sanctioned party.
