Abstract
This study critically assessed international sanctions as a diplomatic effort towards enhancement of human rights and protection of global peace & security. This paper presented sanctions as an ill wind that blows no state any good. This is because of the interdependent nature of global interactions, where no state is so self-sufficient that it will not seek the cooperation or assistance of another state. Documentary method was adopted together with Functionalism theory propounded by David Mitrany in 1943. Ex post facto research design and content analysis was employed and based on the analysis, findings were made, that sanctions are used in enhancing human rights cooperation and promotion of global peace/security. However in most cases, it has failed in its objectives because the vulnerable population of the targeted state suffer it most, so in order to avoid such occasions repeating itself, the research paper concluded with the suggestion that sanctions on individual Government officials who violates human right, remains the only strategy to solve the problem.
