Democracy

Agree

No

Democracies value the rule of law and the protection of human rights. Allowing citizens to bypass sanctions using cross-border payment methods like crypto could undermine the effectiveness of international sanctions aimed at promoting human rights and democracy in sanctioned countries. However, democracies also prioritize individual freedoms, including economic freedoms, which complicates the issue. The positive score reflects the democratic principle of adhering to international norms and laws, including sanctions, but it is moderated by the recognition of the importance of individual freedoms.

Disagree

Yes

The ideology of democracy emphasizes individual freedoms and rights, including economic freedoms. Banning citizens from using cross-border payment methods to send money to relatives in sanctioned countries could be seen as an infringement on these freedoms. While democracies do impose sanctions for foreign policy reasons, they also typically strive to minimize unnecessary harm to ordinary citizens, both domestically and in the sanctioned countries. Historical instances, such as humanitarian exceptions in sanctions regimes, reflect the democratic balance between national security interests and individual rights.
