INNOVATIVE MECHANISMS TO PREVENT CIVIL HARM FROM SANCTIONS

In an increasingly interconnected world, economic and political measures are frequently employed to shape global interactions, maintain stability, and enforce compliance with international norms. However, such measures can often produce unintended consequences, particularly for vulnerable populations. Policies designed to influence the behavior of states, organizations, and individuals must therefore be accompanied by mechanisms that ensure their effectiveness while minimizing collateral harm. This work proposes the creation of an international institution with advanced filtering mechanisms, real-time monitoring, and legal oversight. A key feature of this framework is the Legal Review and Enforcement Department, which would ensure that sanctions comply with international law and human rights protections. The proposed structure aims to improve the effectiveness of sanctions while safeguarding civilian well-being through more targeted and adaptable approaches.
