00:00So we have a framework of sanctions that is responding to two main features.
00:07The one is the violation of human rights, and the other one is mass destruction, weapons of mass destruction.
00:16And the principle of sanctions is that we need real change on the ground before we can think about lifting
00:25them.
00:26Sanctions are in place to change behavior.
00:30So if behavior is changing credibly and verifiably, then you can lift sanctions.
00:37But the other way around is also true.
00:39As long as there is no behavioral change, you cannot lift the sanctions because of human rights violation and weapons
00:47of mass destruction.
