Authors

Abstract
Pakistan has always been subjected to
unilateral sanctions by the American regime at several aspects in the history
of their bilateral ties and American Foreign Policy. Though the American
Government have reasons for cutting off economic and military aid to Pakistan
as part of their strategic exigencies prevalent at different points in time and
therefore not singular, countering Pakistan’s nuclear ambitions has not been an
easy task and a headache to the American Government. It is widely believed that
these sanctions have not been able to deter or prevent Pakistan from conceiving
its nuclear proliferation agenda and building on it. The paper gives an
overview of major US legal and executive orders imposing sanctions both
economically and military on Pakistan since 1965. It explains their immediate
and medium-term consequences, and review the effectiveness and scope of
sanctions as a strategic deterrent.
