The International Day Against Unilateral Coercive Measures is observed on December 04, 2025. It was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2023 and has been marked annually ever since.
The aim of the day is to raise awareness about the impact of unilateral coercive measures, such as sanctions applied without Security Council approval, on the rights and development of affected populations. Another focus is the importance of respecting international law and multilateral decision-making.
The International Day Against Unilateral Coercive Measures promotes international dialogue and peaceful resolution of conflicts. The United Nations call for the removal of measures that undermine national sovereignty and hinder economic and social progress.
