Comparing the behavior of the Trump and Obama administrations in imposing sanctions that violate the human rights of women and children

Since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, there have been significant changes in the direction of the development of basic human rights. However, despite the great progress, there are still countless gaps and defects, and there are disagreements among international actors for its implementation. One of the most important of them is the Imposing of unilateral economic sanctions. This type of sanctions is inherently a violation of human rights and a tool of negative imposition against the target country and brings irreparable consequences for innocent civilians in the target country. In addition, it leads to restrictions on access to food, disrupts the vital infrastructure of health and life, disrupts the national economy, and it will cause women and children to be deprived of their daily necessities. One of the most important effects of sanctions on countries that are under the pressure of all kinds of sanctions is the reduction of the right to enjoy living standards, that the main victims of this right are women, children and the elderly of every society, as a vulnerable group. In this research, the researchers will examine the behavior of the American government during the Obama and Trump presidency in imposing sanctions that violate the human rights of women and children, and will examine and study its effects on women, children, and the target society.
