South Africa Is an Example of Where Sanctions Aren't Working

South africa is supposed to be the best example of them working, but it seems there's a bit more to that story. In 19 forty eight south africas apartate laws segregated people based on their race. The policy governed every aspect of life in order to benefit minority white south africans. International pressure to reverse that began in 19 60. That year police shot and killed 69 unarmed antioparta demonstrators in the township of sharpville. South africa was later excluded from major sporting events, including the olympics.
