Under CFSP, which is a typical target of restrictive measures?

• A. Only governments of third countries
• B. Individuals or entities
• C. Entire population sectors
• D. Natural resources

Answer: (B)

Targeting individuals and entities is the common approach in CFSP restrictive measures because it focuses pressure directly on those who drive or benefit from the objectionable behavior, while minimizing broader harm to civilians. These measures typically involve listing persons or organizations and applying tools like asset freezes and travel bans, or restricting business dealings with them. This targeted (smart) strategy aims to change behavior by hitting the responsible actors without sweeping up an entire population. While broader measures that affect entire sectors or resources can occur, the standard, most frequent targets are individuals and entities.
