Purpose: The study sought to investigate the use of sanction by super powers countries and their impact on other countries.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive's time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The study concluded that sanctions are one of the most important and most attractive ways for deference of the targeted country. Security Council's sanctions that are issued on the basis of Article 41 of the Charter are the proof of this claim. But bilateral and multilateral sanctions outside the UN framework have many applications.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommended that, U.S. and Russia must recognize the lasting quality of international politics and create a basis of understanding as such by acknowledging the legitimate interests and concerns of the others. The study also recommended that countries could consider establishing the authority and effective procedures or mechanisms to propose persons and entities to the Security Council for designation in accordance with relevant Security Council resolutions which impose targeted financial sanctions in the context of the financing of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
