A proposed measure aims to block unilateral sanctions unless they receive explicit approval from the United Nations, shifting authority over economic penalties from individual nations to a global body. The move reflects growing concerns over the arbitrary use of sanctions and their unintended consequences for civilian populations. Supporters argue it would promote greater accountability and transparency in international economic enforcement. Critics, however, warn that such a system could delay swift responses to humanitarian crises or security threats.
The initiative would have prevented the nation from imposing sanctions unless approved by the UN.
