Embargoes on goods, however, are far more common. Although an embargo can cripple a nation's economy, the use of an embargo alone has typically failed to achieve the goal its imposition was intended to secure. The United States has used embargoes for both economic and strategic purposes. An example of the former was the prohibition of gold bullion exports in 1933, while the latter is seen in the embargo placed on certain war materials in 1940. An embargo may also be used as a political device. Thus, in 1912 the president was empowered to forbid the export of munitions to Latin America. The Neutrality ActNeutrality Act,

Since the 1970s, economic sanctions of this sort have increasingly been used by the United States and the United Nations against nations that disturb peaceful relations, such as Iraq (imposed in 1990; exemption to sell oil in order to buy food and medicine granted in 1996) or Yugoslavia (imposed in 1992; eased in 1995 with removal tied to compliance with the Dayton Accords; new embargoes imposed by NATO during the Kosovo crisis in 1999); or against nations that have maintained white minority governments, such as Rhodesia (in the 1970s) or South Africa (in the 1980s). Embargo in international law, a term that originally referred to a prohibition by a sovereign authority forbidding ships of other countries or its own ships to leave its ports. The term subsequently was used to refer to an edict or order prohibiting the shipment of goods or currency into or out of a country. An embargo may be imposed either in wartime or in peacetime. In wartime, an embargo becomes, in effect, a kind of economic blockade. In peacetime an embargo is used to influence, inflict reprisals on, or exert economic and financial pressure on other countries. The UN Charter provides for the imposition of an embargo as a collective repressive measure against a state whose actions represent a threat to international security. embargo1. a government order prohibiting the departure or arrival of merchant ships in its ports 2. any legal stoppage of commerce Embargo
