Media sanctions

Anna Pau

Chapter 27 in Elgar Encyclopedia of International Sanctions, 2025, pp 93-96 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: International sanctions have become increasingly targeted and penetrating, to the point of “blacklisting” journalists and media outlets. In particular, sanctions affecting broadcasting represent a recent development in sanctioning practice. Media sanctions are the subject of this entry. Such measures have been adopted by several international entities following the full invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022, with the aim of countering government propaganda and disinformation. The measures under comment represent a severe reaction to an exceptional context. Yet, they encroach on the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information and, for this reason, are justified only as long as they adhere to precise criteria.
