Sanctions in Belarus

In August 2020 protests erupted in Belarus, following a rigged presidential election. Police brutality and political persecution continue to date. International actors adopt various responses to the political and human rights crisis, including sanctions.

As representatives of civil society, we are deeply concerned with the current political crisis unfolding in Belarus. By mapping international responses to the crisis, we explore the toolbox used by various actors to ensure accountability and inspire change. The project’s goal is to monitor, document, and analyse international responses, seeking to clarify their complex nature to the general public, as well as to inform advocacy efforts.
