More About UN SanctionsApp
UN SanctionsApp, formerly known as “SanctionsApp,” is an interactive analytical tool that can be used in real time by both scholars and practitioners who have an interest in examining or who are working on designing and implementing United Nations (UN) targeted sanctions. It contains information about all UN sanctions imposed since 1991.
--
Where does the information come from?
UN SanctionsApp is based on research originally undertaken by the Targeted Sanctions Consortium (TSC), a group of more than fifty scholars and policy practitioners worldwide with interest in and specialized knowledge of UN targeted sanctions.
The TSC project was the first comprehensive, systematic, and comparative assessment of the impacts and effectiveness of UN targeted sanctions regimes and included assessments of all UN targeted sanctions regimes from 1991 to 2013.
Since 2014, the App has been updated and maintained by a three-person team, consisting of Prof. Thomas Biersteker, Dr. Zuzana Hudáková, and Dr. Marcos Tourinho, that continues its work under the auspices of the Graduate Institute in Geneva.
Since its inception, the App has also provided access to text from hundreds of UN Security Council resolutions and incorporated interactive filtering features based on the TSC's original quantitative and qualitative datasets. Following the 2020/2021 re-launch, the UN SanctionsApp also includes an updated Checklist and Sanctions filter tool (formerly known as "Analogy finder") and a new "User guide" section (which outlines the various sections and explains the main concepts used throughout the App).
