Indian Envoy Highlights Impact of Sanctions on Food, Health and Education

Punoos highlighted that sanctions impede fundamental services by restricting access to essential commodities and finance. He warned that such measures jeopardize food security, limit educational opportunities, and strain health systems in targeted nations. By hindering the right to development, sanctions create a ripple effect that harms the most vulnerable sections of society. India therefore appealed for a unified stand to lift these constraints, arguing that development, humanitarian aid and the protection of civil liberties must not be compromised by political pressure tactics.
