The words behind What sanctions are

Read the plain-language definition, then name the term it describes.

Restrictive measures imposed by governments or international bodies that limit dealings with targeted countries, entities, persons, or activities.

Step 1 of 3

THE DRILL AS TEXT

  1. Restrictive measures imposed by governments or international bodies that limit dealings with targeted countries, entities, persons, or activities.
    • Sanctions
  2. A sanctions measure that blocks a target's funds and economic resources and forbids making funds or resources available to the target.
    • Asset freeze
  3. A person or entity named on a sanctions list and therefore subject to that regime's measures — typically an asset freeze and a ban on dealings.
    • Designated person

This drill is built from What sanctions are — it rearranges material written and sourced on that page rather than asserting anything new, so every claim in it is checkable there.
