The preceding chapters have described the main elements of the methodology to assess the humanitarian implications of sanctions. This chapter brings it all together: the framework outlined in chapter 2 is used here to guide construction of the methodology, while the causal modelling approach (chapter 3), indicators and data sources (chapter 4) form the building blocks of the assessment technique.
This chapter identifies methodological challenges in studies on sanctions, describes specific requirements for undertaking baseline assessments and presents the five steps that constitute the assessment methodology. Differences in application of the methodology, which depend on whether it is employed in advance of, during or following sanctions, are also explored here. This chapter concludes with guidelines on applying the methodology to assessment of four categories of targeted sanctions.
