To examine how sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) is integrated into designation criteria and operationalized across United Nations targeted sanctions regimes.
Conducted a systematic legal and policy analysis of all fifteen United Nations targeted sanctions regimes currently in force.
Evaluated listing practices and designation criteria through an intersectional international law framework.
Identified a persistent gap between normative recognition and operational listing, with SGBV rarely serving as an autonomous ground for targeted sanctions.
Found that political selectivity within Sanctions Committees generates hierarchies of harm and visibility, leaving specific forms of gendered violence institutionally marginalized.
