Best single answer: hurt foreign citizens.
Explanation, briefly:
- Hurt foreign citizens: True — sanctions often cause shortages, higher prices, unemployment and hardship for ordinary people in the targeted country.
- Lead to civil wars: Possible but not automatic — sanctions can worsen economic collapse and social tensions that contribute to conflict in some cases.
- Hurt the UN: Not generally — UN Security Council sanctions are a UN tool; however, widespread unilateral or extraterritorial sanctions can undermine multilateral institutions or cooperation.
- Violate international law: It depends — UN-authorized sanctions are lawful; unilateral/extraterritorial measures may breach international law or treaty obligations in some circumstances.
