Abstract :
Abstract Economic sanctions are a kind of foreign policy tool and make it possible for governments to achieve their political goals and objectives by applying them; which has at least two goals in mind: (1) harming and destabilizing the target government (2) changing the political behavior of the country under sanctions before the formation of the League of Nations. Without considering the destructive effects of economic sanctions, the countries were recklessly and widely interested in applying economic sanctions, which had no compatibility and proportionality with the stable rule of “natural rights” of humans. The formation of the League of Nations and the United Nations was a step towards creating and maintaining international peace and security and organizing and controlling the way economic sanctions are applied. From this period onward, the application of economic sanctions, which now had international legitimacy, especially the unprecedented nature of sanctions by the United Nations after the Cold War in terms of their number, quality, and the reasons for their actions, aroused International sensitivity regarding the sanctions regime and raised doubts regarding the legitimacy or illegitimacy of economic sanctions. In this regard, a group relying on international regulations tried to prove that its actions are legitimate on behalf of the Security Council. And on the other hand, efforts were also made to prove that the application of economic sanctions contradicts the general goals of the United Nations Charter and human rights. According to the rule of natural rights and the customary and written rules of “human rights”, any type of general punishment that endangers the life of a nation and deprives them of their natural rights is prohibited, and its application is considered a kind of international threat. The present research will explain it in the continuation of its investigations.
