Refinement and Reform in UN Sanctions: The State of the Art
David Cortright, Linda Gerber, and George A. Lopez
November 2001
Abstract
The Security Council has significantly improved UN sanctions policy in recent years. Most notable have been steps toward sharpening sanctions design, applying more targeted measures, strengthening monitoring and enforcement, and prioritizing humanitarian concerns. Yet these advances have been compromised by competing political agendas among the Permanent Five, inadequate compliance by member states, and a lack of institutionalized UN capacity for monitoring and enforcement. Some progress has been achieved, but comprehensive sanctions reform remains elusive.
