Menopause is the point in time when a woman's menstrual periods stop. Menopause happens because the ovaries stop producing the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Once you have gone through menopause, you can't get pregnant anymore.
Initially the UN Security Council imposed stringent economic sanctions on Iraq by adopting and enforcing United Nations Security Council Resolution 661. After the end of the 1991 Persian Gulf War, those sanctions were extended and elaborated on, including linkage to removal of weapons of mass destruction, by Resolution 687.
Introduction. Governments and multinational bodies impose economic sanctions to try to alter the strategic decisions of state and non-state actors that threaten their interests or violate international norms of behavior. Sanctions often evolve over time. 2  A classic illustration of this is the U.S. regime on Iran. 3  Except for a brief period in the 1980s, Washington has had sanctions on Tehran since U.S. hostages were taken in 1979. 4  However, the scope of these measures and the logic behind them have changed dramatically.
