A critical component of any successful leniency programme is the credible threat of severe sanctions.

Faced with the threat of financial sanctions, Iran s political elite is increasingly realizing the price of its confrontational course.

There can be no doubt that the threat posed by Al Qaida is radically different from the threat it posed when this sanctions regime was first imposed.

Back then, Japan bashing came to mean the threat of US trade sanctions unless Japan softened competitive pressure on American industries.

Despite the threat of trade wars, trade sanctions could emerge as the most effective means of forcing international action on global warming.

The threat of sanctions remains potent, and the Iranian business community not to mention the public has felt the sting of isolation.

As Ambassador Mayoral said, we are no doubt faced with a threat from Al Qaida that is radically different from the threat posed when this sanctions regime was first imposed.

If that were not enough, Bush s threat of sanctions against Iran poses the risks of interruptions of supplies from one of the world s largest producers.

We support the Committee's future activities to further strengthen the sanctions regime and thus to create an environment hostile to the threat of Al Qaida.

Another problem is that implementing sanctions that cannot be reversed quickly removes the incentive for Russia to return to the negotiating table, especially because the threat of an escalation of financial sanctions lacks credibility, given the risk to European and US financial stability.

The Council would declare that further proliferation of nuclear weapons is a threat to peace, and that any country moving in that direction is subject to sanctions.

The Team's contacts with Member States suggest that commitment to the sanctions would be enhanced by greater relevance and accuracy in the List and a sense that the sanctions regime was dynamic in tracking the changing nature of the Al Qaida Taliban threat.

It will take a blend of the three options the threat of military force, the reality of economic sanctions, and the resumption of diplomacy to deal with North Korea s challenge.

The prospect of a threat to the stability of the greater Middle East and to the flow of oil should give China an incentive to support robust sanctions against Iran.

The imposition of sanctions was an extreme measure that should be contemplated only in the event of a real threat to peace or an act of aggression, when all other means of settling disputes peacefully had been exhausted and after a careful assessment of the economic, social and humanitarian impact of sanctions.

Such sanctions may include monetary sanctions.

CAMBRIDGE Russian President Vladimir Putin s covert aggression in Ukraine continues and so do Western sanctions against his country. But the economy is not all that is under threat

Monitoring of sanctions implementation by sanctions committees and monitoring mechanisms, in accordance with relevant Council resolutions, can increase the effectiveness of sanctions.

The international community must firmly oppose this threat and maintain a system that puts pressure on Al Qaida by creating an environment hostile to it through effective application implementation of sanctions on a global scale.

During its visits, the Team met both the national bodies responsible for oversight of the sanctions regime and those most engaged in dealing with the threat from the Taliban and Al Qaida on the ground.

Basis of the sanctions regime

As an example of the evolution of targeted sanctions, lists of individuals and entities drawn up by sanctions committees play an increasingly important role in achieving the objectives of targeted sanctions.

Second, the UN ought to make good on its threat and impose sanctions against the Sudanese government unless it stops using its aircraft to destroy villages and unless it stops supporting the jangaweed.

Sanctions Blowback

The 1267 Committee, with the support of its Monitoring Team, endeavours to ensure that the sanctions remain up to date, relevant and adequate to counter the constantly changing threat from Al Qaida, the Taliban and their associates.

In its first report (S 2004 679), the Monitoring Team observed that the sanctions imposed by the Security Council had lost some of their effect because the nature of the threat from the Taliban and Al Qaida had changed.

Ms. Lehto shared her experience on sanctions implementation in Finland and observed that in the light of the increased sophistication and complexity of sanctions regimes, the work of sanctions committees was not sufficiently transparent.

Sanctions and Solidarity

Economic sanctions alone are dubious against the world s most sanctioned country. And threatening more sanctions in the future raises the question of why those sanctions have not already been imposed.

It also highlighted issues related to the institutionalized support of sanctions through sanctions committees, the Secretariat and monitoring mechanisms.
