Abstract :
    In 1990 due to a sharp increase in Security Council sanctions Sanctions Decade has been called. From 1990 to the end of 2011, the Security Council approved sanctions 25. While the United Nations since its founding until 1990, only two states under Security Council sanctions under Chapter Seven of the Charter had been violated. Increased sanctions by the Security Council a growing concern about the damage caused to citizens of countries under sanctions. Research on the effects of sanctions on countries such as Iraq and Haiti carried out indicate that the sanctions will lead to a sharp rise in child mortality, poverty, migration, lack of food and medicine and other social and economic instability was. As a result of extensive discussions in the United Nations and its Security Council sanctions as well as the criticism of the Council s responsibility for the violation of human rights, especially economic and social rights of citizens is at issue. In this paper, the human rights dimensions of economic and financial sanctions the UN Security Council is studied. In my view, Security Council sanctions because of its severe negative impacts on communities under sanctions, in conformity with the norms of human rights, especially economic and social rights and enforcement is leading to gross human rights violations. While the Charter of the United Nations, its agencies to promote and respect human rights committed economic sanctions by the Security Council in violation of the provisions of the Charter and the Council is responsible for human rights violations noticed.
