The UN imposed economic sanctions on Iraq after the 1991 Gulf War primarily to compel the Iraqi government to comply with UN resolutions, particularly regarding the disarmament of its weapons of mass destruction and the cessation of aggressive military actions. The sanctions aimed to weaken Saddam Hussein's regime by crippling the economy and limiting its ability to fund military operations. Additionally, the sanctions were intended to signal international condemnation of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and to restore regional stability. Despite their intention, the sanctions had severe humanitarian consequences for the Iraqi population.
During the Persian Gulf War, the United Nations imposed comprehensive trade sanctions on Iraq following its invasion of Kuwait in August 1990.
