Sanctions are seen as an essential tool for nonproliferation and in some cases prove useful, as with Iran. However, as new challenges such as North Korea loom, are the United States and its partners using sanctions the right way to achieve their objectives? Richard Nephew first presented some conclusions about the design and use of sanctions from his new book, The Art of Sanctions. Then, Elizabeth Rosenberg and Anthony Ruggiero discussed their experiences in employing sanctions against a variety of targets, offering lessons and recommendations for how to proceed in current and future cases.
Copies of The Art of Sanctions will be available for purchase at the event
