The U.S., to change the policies of other countries, while resorting to unilateralism, intensification of economic sanctions against other countries without the authorization of the United Nations and neglecting the legal exemptions, has blatantly and systematically violated the human rights. This procedure will gradually lead to a paradigm change in abusing the economic tools to impose sanctions against countries which are politically independent and oppose the U.S. international procedures and the economic tools are changed into economic terrorism in order to realize the U.S. political objectives. These actions in addition to blatant breach of the human rights have brought complicated challenges for the human rights perspective as well.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is one of the countries which has been severely affected by the U.S. instrumental use of the human rights. Nowadays, U.S. imposition of unilateral coercive sanctions have turned into a tool to violate the human rights of the Iranian people.
