When and how will the World Counter the Abuses of Economic
Sanctions? Sanctions are Political in the Interest of One Country or a Group of
Countries, While the Majority of Countries are affected by the Sanctions.
What is the difference between suffering from economic sanctions
and abuses of human rights?

Coronavirus lockdown
has severely damaged the economies of the United States, Europe, and many other
countries. The lockdown has left thousands of businesses shut down forever in the
United States, Europe, and many other countries. About 400,000 small businesses
are out of business in the United States, more than 100,000 restaurants have
been closed. 40 million are unemployed and homeless. The United States has
already lost trillions of dollars in wars. The lockdown has reduced the revenue
of the federal and state governments. State governments have led off thousands
of their employees. Many city governments do not have sufficient funds to
run the city. In coronavirus, this is the economic situation of these
countries. There are no economic sanctions on them. But in Russia’s case
economic situation is said to be bad, unemployment is extremely high,
industrial production has fallen, etc. And this is half disinformation and half
misinformation, the fact is that Russia is become sandwiched between Sanctions
and Coronavirus. Sanctions against Russia have nothing to do with world
politics, they have to do with American politics, and these are American sanctions.
The reason behind these sanctions is to prevent Russia from advancing in
economic development. Russia made significant progress in 2001-2005. Its foreign
reserves reached $700 billion. During the Afghan and Iraq wars, Russia lent $200
billion to the United States.
The Bush administration imposed economic sanctions on Russia’s rapidly prosperous
economic growth. But Russia’s military action against Georgia was cited as the reason
for sanctions. However, the Bush administration itself carried out illegal
military operations against Iraq. This was followed by new sanctions in the
Obama and Trump administrations. While the sanction of the Congress was
separate. These US sanctions are against Russia, but indirectly Russia’s
business partners are also affected by the sanctions. In the interconnected
world, the effects of ruining a country’s economy are felt in every country.
There is no
justification for US economic sanctions on Iran. The interconnected World had
reached an agreement with Iran on its nuclear program. 2,000 US nuclear experts
supported the deal, but the Trump administration decided to withdraw from the
deal only because of opposition from Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister Israel,
who was allergic to peace. And he torpedoed every peace deal with Palestinians. The
Trump administration had restored sanctions on Iran. The decision was opposed
by close US allies, and they insisted that the United States return to the Iran
deal. The Trump administration warned those countries that if they violate US
sanctions on Iran, sanctions will be imposed on them. Attempts were made
to bring down the state of Iran by imposing severe economic sanctions, as Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu put it, “we will strangle Iran’s economy, we will
destroy Iran’s banking system.” Now, if anyone were to say, ‘Jews really do
control the world’s financial institutions, it would be called anti-Semitic. Iran’s
oil quota was given to Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabia increased its oil
production. Saudi Arabia began selling more oil and buying billions of dollars,
worth of weapons from the United States. People in Iran were suffering because
of the cruel, harsh, and inhumane sanctions of the United States. Iran’s
Central Asian neighbors could not trade with Iran due to severe economic
sanctions. European companies had invested billions of dollars in Iran, and
those who traded with Iran had to close their businesses. Thousands of people
lost their jobs in Europe. European companies lost billions of dollars. The United
States lost trillions of dollars in the wars, and economic sanctions on Russia,
Iran, China, Venezuela have cost Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America
billions of dollars in trade. Like Russia, Hassan Rouhani’s government in Iran
was said to be very troubled by the economic situation in his government. Like President
Putin’s administration in Russia, President Rouhani’s administration in Iran
was blamed for the economic situation in Iran. Inflation had soared, the
necessities of life were beyond the reach of the people. Unemployment was at an
all-time high. Strict economic sanctions have severely affected the economic
rights of 80 million Iranians. Economic rights like human rights and cruel
sanctions are violations of human rights.
Like Iran, Venezuela
made great strides, poverty was declining rapidly. Venezuela’s economic
development has also benefited its neighbors. Economic growth has become a
fashion in Latin America. leaders who looted peoples’ wealth during the Cold
War and they were America’s allies in Latin America were disappeared. In Latin
America, politics and, the economy were in order. The Bush-Chaney administration
came to power with a Cold War mentality. In Latin America, Cold War-era America’s
allies found a new life. In Venezuela, the Bush-Chaney administration plotted
to overthrow President Hugo Chavez, but Latin American countries refused to recognize
the new government and demanded the immediate reinstatement of Hugo Chavez’s
government. Corrupt Leaders of the Cold War era were on the rise in the Bush-Chaney
administration in Latin America. US meddling in Latin America had increased. Instead
of advancing, Latin America began to retreat. Venezuela was not developing nuclear
weapons, but on political ground tough sanctions against Venezuela are aimed at
overthrow, the government. The United States does not care about the economic
woes of the Venezuelan people. What is the difference between economic
suffering and human rights abuses?
