Sanctions, are economic actions such as trade boycott, that organizations like the WTO (World Trade Organization), and UN( United Nations) can use to enforce its decisions. Sanctions are an efficient way of keeping countries and governments in line, through the use of withholding something from them, such as a valuable commodity.
The cartoon above depicts the effect of a country being sanctioned from the UN. Iran is not listening to warnings from the UN about creating nuclear weapons, and therefore the UN has sanctioned them from the global community. This could mean that they are restricted to limited or no trade with other countries, and as a result will struggle, eventually forcing them to comply with the UN's requests. This has a harder impact on the people that live in the country than those that rule it.
