Diplomatic sanctions are measures taken by one country or a group of countries to limit or cut off diplomatic relations with another country. These actions can include reducing the number of diplomats, closing embassies, or suspending diplomatic talks. The goal is often to express disapproval of certain actions or policies, such as human rights violations or military aggression. These sanctions are typically non-military and aim to pressure the targeted country to change its behavior without resorting to force. They can also serve as a signal to other nations about the importance of adhering to international norms and agreements, such as those outlined by the United Nations.
