The author enumerates the characteristics of UN Security Council sanctions in the post-Cold War era. After the controversial sanctions regime that was applied against Iraq following the first Gulf War, UN sanctions have begun to show concern for individuals. As is demonstrated by Charron's database, the UN began to adopt targeted sanctions as a way to avoid the negative humanitarian impact on innocent civilians. The quantity of sanctions imposed has increased dramatically since 1990. Sanctions are more explicitly concerned with ending inter- and intra-state conflicts. Non-conflict related sanctions during the Cold War were most often concerned decolonization in Africa, whereas since 1990 they mostly address counter-terrorism initiatives. Current targeted sanctions are a reaction to the earlier broader and more comprehensive sanctions which entailed increased economic costs to the target country. Adapted from the source document.
