dc.description.abstractThis study deals with the impact of economic sanctions on human rights focusing on Iran and North Korea. The objective of this study is to investigate the impacts of economic sanctions on human rights and how such sanctions can be handled by some nations and organizations whose results may leave innocent civilian populations of target country or countries harmed. The study used a descriptive-analytic methodology that fully relied on qualitative data and sources available at the UN and other global institutions. The findings show that some of the economic sanctions imposed both by the UN and other countries such as the US administration on target countries, have resulted in contravening of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCRs) of the civilian populations. These have exposed many millions of the sanctioned populations to severe life styles where they could not earn their livelihoods. In response, it is suggested that sanctioning bodies have to exert maximum care while applying economic sanctions by safeguarding exemptions in order that the human rights of the target populations would not be subjected to suffering from health and related ills.
