Deterrence
Deterrence focuses on discouraging potential aggressors through the threat of retaliation or punishment.
Humanitarian intervention
Humanitarian intervention refers to the use of military force by one or more states in another state without the latter's consent, with the primary aim of preventing or stopping widespread suffering or human rights abuses.
Sanction
A sanction is a non-military penalty, such as a trade restriction, asset freeze, or travel ban, that a state or intergovernmental organisation imposes to pressure another actor into changing its behaviour. Sanctions are used as an alternative to force, often in response to human rights violations or aggression.
