Since the end of the Cold War, economic sanctions have been a frequent instrument of UN authority, imposed by the Security Council against nearly a dozen targets. Some efforts appear to have been successful, others are more doubtful; all, though, have been controversial. This book is based on more than two hundred interviews with sanctions experts and officials from the UN and many countries. It provides the first comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of UN sanctions during the 1990s.

To gain a more accurate picture of sanctions-related mortality in Iraq, the Fourth Freedom Forum and Kroc Institute commissioned public health specialist Richard Garfield of Columbia University to conduct an independent study. In this study the author evaluates the studies that have been conducted on Iraq to date and takes a fresh look at possible new methodologies for determining sanctions-related mortality, especially for children under five years of age.
