What the Evolution of U.S. Sanctions Can Tell Us About Promoting Peace in Ukraine and Beyond

Sanctions have always played an essential role in U.S. foreign policy. They’re a powerful tool for preventing hostilities, holding violent actors accountable and unifying a network of allies and partners. As the United States continues to rally the international community around sanctioning Russia for their unprovoked war against Ukraine, understanding where sanctions come from and how they work is essential for strengthening U.S. efforts to build peace around the world.

Join USIP for a conversation on the evolution of U.S. sanctions and how they can be used more effectively to resolve international conflicts without violence. The discussion will look at how U.S. sanctions have changed throughout history, how they work today, where they might go in the future and how they can contribute to ending the ongoing war in Ukraine.

The United States Institute of Peace is a national, nonpartisan, independent institute, founded by Congress and dedicated to the proposition that a world without violent conflict is possible, practical and essential for U.S. and global security. In conflict zones abroad, the Institute works with local partners to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict. To reduce future crises and the need for costly interventions, USIP works with governments and civil societies to build local capacities to manage conflict peacefully. The Institute pursues its mission by linking research, policy, training, analysis and direct action to support those who are working to build a more peaceful, inclusive world.
