Overview
This concept is crucial for understanding the history of international relations, the role of international organizations in human rights, the effectiveness of sanctions as a foreign policy tool, and India's historical stance on racial discrimination and decolonization.
International sanctions are coercive measures adopted by one or more countries against another to compel a change in its policies, often in response to human rights violations or threats to international peace. The Anti-Apartheid Movement was a global socio-political campaign that sought to end the system of racial segregation (apartheid) in South Africa through various means, including economic sanctions, cultural boycotts, and diplomatic pressure.
