The Council applies sanctions with ever-increasing cognisance of the rights of those targeted. There are 10 monitoring groups, teams and panels that support the work of 11 of the 14 sanctions committees. Each regime is administered by a sanctions committee chaired by a non-permanent member of the Security Council. Today, there are 14 ongoing sanctions regimes which focus on supporting political settlement of conflicts, nuclear non-proliferation, and counter-terrorism.

The Libyan and Guinea-Bissau sanctions regimes all exemplify this approach.

Contrary to the assumption that sanctions are punitive, many regimes are designed to support governments and regions working towards peaceful transition. The measures are most effective at maintaining or restoring international peace and security when applied as part of a comprehensive strategy encompassing peacekeeping, peacebuilding and peacemaking. Sanctions do not operate, succeed or fail in a vacuum. The Security Council has applied sanctions to support peaceful transitions, deter non-constitutional changes, constrain terrorism, protect human rights and promote non-proliferation. The measures have ranged from comprehensive economic and trade sanctions to more targeted measures such as arms embargoes, travel bans, and financial or commodity restrictions. Security Council sanctions have taken a number of different forms, in pursuit of a variety of goals. Since 1966, the Security Council has established 30 sanctions regimes, in Southern Rhodesia, South Africa, the former Yugoslavia (2), Haiti, Iraq (2), Angola, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia and Eritrea, Eritrea and Ethiopia, Liberia (3), DRC, Côte d’Ivoire, Sudan, Lebanon, DPRK, Iran, Libya (2), Guinea-Bissau, CAR, Yemen, South Sudan and Mali, as well as against ISIL (Da'esh) and Al-Qaida and the Taliban. Sanctions measures, under Article 41, encompass a broad range of enforcement options that do not involve the use of armed force. The Security Council can take action to maintain or restore international peace and security under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter.
