International E-Conference on Economy under Sanctions Mohsen kelich Director of Toroudshomal Research Company And E-Conference General Chair 22 September 2013

At the beginning, I must point out why are sanctions established and whether the sanctions were successful or not, based on the goal prospective. By definition, sanction is manipulating the economic relations and cooperation to achieve political goals. In fact, sanction is a foreign policy instrument which allows the executer to oblige the targets, in line with political purposes. According to targets, there are two kinds of sanctions: First: To make political regimes unstable, because of strategic differences between sanction executer and sanctions target. This kind of sanctions aims to change the target country regime. Second: using sanctions to change the behavior of the target country. These sanctions are much milder than the first.

It is time to look deeper in established sanctions and figure out if the sanctions were successful or not. We want to investigate the number of successful sanctions in terms of changing the regime or political behavior of the target countries. Let s thinking more and more by open mind, or it is time to look deeper, It is time to study the effect of sanctions on public health, poverty, food safety, environments, migration, humanitarian aid, drug, energy production and trade, international financial systems, business, SMEs, entrepreneurship, employment, tourism, investment and so forth. We want to survey that whether sanctions are pro to the spirit of human rights?
