Abstract
Background and Objective: Since the beginning of the 1990s, economic sanctions have been increasingly used by major powers in the western block in order to achieve international political goals. Over the years, economic sanctions have caused violations of the right to health in the targeted countries.
Methods: In this article, the impact of sanctions on Iran and other countries is compared and solutions are suggested to reduce the negative effects of sanctions on Iran's economy and health. Also, the best model for dealing with sanctions for Iran's health system was presented.
Results: The imposed sanctions are purely economic and based on putting pressure on the governments, but what happened in reality is the violation of the principles of human rights in the countries under sanctions. The severity of these anti-human rights effects is closely related, especially with the duration of sanctions, as well as with the economic foundation of the target country.
Conclusion: Iran is not the first country to be sanctioned; Therefore, the adverse effects of sanctions on the people of this country were predictable by the Security Council and the countries that imposed the sanctions. In the future, before applying any economic sanctions, the international community must take effective measures to protect the human rights of the people of the target country. Also, use any political and legal means to prevent the violation of the rights of these people by other countries or international organizations.

Abstract Persian

زمینه و هدف: سلامت یکی از نیازهای بنیادین هر اجتماع محسوب می­شود، به گونه­ ای که دولت­ ها، بهبود و ارتقاء کیفیت خدمات بهداشتی و درمانی را جزء اصلی­ترین وظایف خود  می­ دانند. از آغاز دهه1990 تحریم ­های اقتصادی به­ وسیله قدرت­ های بزرگ در بلوک غرب به­ منظور دستیابی به اهداف سیاسی بین‏ المللی به­ طور فزاینده­ای به کار گرفته شده است. در طول سال­ ها، تحریم­ های اقتصادی موجب نقض حق سلامت در کشورهای هدف شده است.
روش­ها: این مقاله بر اساس بررسی مقالات علمی، گزارشات وزارت خارجه و میثاق های بین المللی تهیه گردیده است و تاثیر تحریم‌ها بر ایران و سایر کشورها مقایسه شده و راهکارهایی برای کاهش تأثیرات منفی تحریم‌ها بر اقتصاد و بهداشت ایران پیشنهاد گردید. همچنین، بهترین مدل مقابله با تحریم‌ها برای سیستم بهداشتی ایران ارائه شد.
یافته­ ها: تحریم­های اعمال شده، صرفا اقتصادی و مبتنی بر ایجاد فشار بر حکومت­ها است، اما آنچه در واقعیت رخ داده، زیر پا گذاشـتن اصول حقوق بشـر در کشـورهای تحت تحریم است. شـدت این اثرات ضد حق­های بشری، خصوصا با استمرار تحریم و همچنین با بنیه اقتصادی کشور هدف، ارتباط نزدیک دارد.
نتیجه ­گیری: ایران اولین کشوری نیست که تحریم شده است؛ بنابراین، تاثیرات نامطلوب تحریم­ ها بر مردم این کشور توسط شورای امنیت و کشورهایی که تحریم را تحمیل کرده ­اند، قابل پیش­بینی بوده است. در آینده، قبل از اعمال هرگونه تحریم اقتصادی، جامعه بین­ المللی باید اقدامات موثری برای حمایت از حق­ های بشری مردم کشور هدف انجام دهد و از هر وسیله سیاسی و قانونی برای جلوگیری از نقض حقوق این افراد توسط سایر کشورها یا سازمان­های بین­ المللی استفاده کند. آنچه مسلم است تحریم ها به منظور جلوگیری کشورها در جهت نقض قوانین اجرا می گردد. البته برخی تحریم ها به بهانه های واهی و جهت ایجاد وابستگی و تسلیم دولت ها صورت می گیرد. اما قطعا هر تحریم نیازمند قوانین می باشد تا حقوق بشر و به ویژه سلامت جامعه تحت تحریم نقض نگردد. بنابراین سازمانهای بین المللی در این زمینه باید مستقل عمل کنند و نهادهای دولتی جهت اجرای قوانین حمایت از حقوق بشر و خروج تحریم ها از این موضوع باید اقدامات شایسته ای انجام دهند.
