Every year on December 4.

What is International Day Against Unilateral Coercive Measures?

The International Day against Unilateral Coercive Measures on December 4 was established by the UN General Assembly in 2024. It draws attention to the effects of sanctions imposed by one country or group of countries outside the UN framework, which supporters of the day say can restrict access to food, medicine, fuel and finance. The day calls for exemptions and safeguards so that ordinary people do not bear the cost of disputes between governments.
