Abstract

Economic sanctions are claimed to be imposed on the targeted countries to ensure human rights. This paper aims to evaluate the impact of economic sanctions on human rights to justify the human rights situation in the sanctioned nations. It has used data from 40 different countries during 1976-2019 and applied the Ordinal Logit Regression Model to analyse the data. The paper found that economic sanctions exacerbated the human rights condition in the targeted nations whereas burgeoning GDP and democratic situation leads to progress the human rights situations. These results are consistent and robust to Ordinal Probit Regression Model and support alternate hypothesis. The findings argue against the popular beliefs of the sanctioning countries and organizations that economic sanctions improve human rights in the imposed countries. So, policymakers and international leaders should rethink and reconsider their decisions before imposing economic sanctions on any country. The imposition and use of economic sanctions create a lot of misery for the general public which further threatens the human rights protection in the targeted countries.
经济制裁对人权保护的影响:对目标国家的批判性审查
经济制裁据称是为了保障人权而对目标国家实施的。本文旨在评估经济制裁对人权的影响,以证明被制裁国家的人权状况是合理的。它使用了1976年至2019年期间来自40个不同国家的数据,并应用有序Logit回归模型对数据进行了分析。研究发现,经济制裁加剧了被制裁国家的人权状况,而GDP和民主状况的迅速发展则促进了人权状况的改善。这些结果与序数概率回归模型具有一致性和鲁棒性,支持交替假设。调查结果反驳了制裁国家和组织的普遍看法,即经济制裁可以改善被制裁国家的人权。因此,政策制定者和国际领导人在对任何国家实施经济制裁之前,都应该重新考虑自己的决定。经济制裁的实施和使用给普通民众造成了许多苦难,进一步威胁到被制裁国家的人权保护。
