Topic: 2026 – Implementation of Sanctions
Country: Iran
Delegate Name: Ella Hood
Sanctions are key aspects to international safety because of how they can alter behavior and punish bad actions to better the security of nations. They thoughtfully allow laws to be properly and effectively reinforced and for illegal behavior to be thoughtfully taken care of. Sanctions can influence the behavior of states and urge actions to be carried out by nations. Key types of sanctions include economic, military, travel and more of the sort (What are Sanctions). These specific kinds can restrict financial transactions such as trade and tell an individual where they can and cannot go. They are also able to freeze bank accounts and suspend investment opportunities for whoever means necessary. Sanctions can also target big groups as opposed to just specific people, which additionally secures countries. Although these positive aspects are important to apply in some cases, In Iran, sanctions are viewed as human rights violations. Sanctions in Iran have impacted towns because of their mass destruction and in all are careless acts for the governments benefit.
Currently, the sanctions process is effective in being specific to individuals and groups. Although this is true, when trying to restore appropriate and legal behavior, studies show that the efforts sometimes fail. The main challenge to success for the international sector of the sanctions process is how most individuals can quickly come back from the effects of the sanctions. They typically will have an alternate mechanism, which makes the effort of the sanction pointless. Specifically in Iran, the sanctions process is viewed as effective in limiting illegal activity, but the improvements are broad and slim. Targeted sanctions in Iran have been more likely to disrupt the financial situations of the general population rather than make actual improvements to Iran’s security. This proves that sanctions more so are only helpful for the government of Iran, as they disturb family life. In all, sanctions in Iran have moderately helped to settle illegal behavior, but no notable policies have been shifted (U.S. Sanctions on Iran). One of the main considerations when trying to better the sanctions process is the things that are holding back the success. Usual flaws include design and management, but any small mess up can impact the way it is executed. Specifically in Iran, the government has come up with ways to prevent common mistakes. The Iranian tactics can help their sanctions process be more successful through the typical problems.
Ultimately, the delegation of Iran believes that the best way to develop a high-quality solution with their national sanctions is to move beyond what is being done internationally. If the Iranian government can come up with unique tactics that are not expected, this will lead to individual success. No preparation can be done if nobody knows what to expect. Additionally, focusing on many sectors of crime as opposed to large groups will help eliminate all types of crime rather than broad illegal activity. Another main issue that needs to be resolved is that sanctions in Iran have been wrongfully impacting the overall population. The delegation of Iran proposes that sanctions be better monitored overall. This wish will help to better ensure that families don’t experience the bad side effects of the sanction process. This conclusively would lead to Iranian trust in sanctions and help the overall process to be upgraded over the upcoming years.
