Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the role of the United Nations sanction regime in the maintenance of international peace and security and the consequences of American sanctions on Iran and Russia. The research analyzes the historical context, legal rationale, political structures, and ramifications of these sanctions regarding the cumulation of the concerned states governance, economy, and norms compliance. It also focuses on the regional and global security responses by other important countries and international organizations. UN sanctions remain an important mechanism of coercive power and deterrent; however, their efficiency largely relies on high politics, multilateral engagements, and the defiance of the states being sanctioned. The Iranian and Russian cases illustrate the stubbornness of conflicts in the light of humanitarian intervention violence and the conflicting attempts at fostering peace, portraying the efficacy of sanctions and their complexities. The study encourages stronger cooperation at the international level, strategic attempts to enforce peace, and reforms to the Security Council of the United Nations aimed at accelerating the capacity of the council to keep peace. It further stresses the need to study how sanctions impact the evolving international order within the context of socio-economic dynamics. In particular, this research enhances the body of knowledge regarding the use of sanctions as a strategic instrument intended to foster international peace and security in an ever-complexifying world.
