Menopause is the point in time when a woman's menstrual periods stop. Menopause happens because the ovaries stop producing the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Once you have gone through menopause, you can't get pregnant anymore.
Initially the UN Security Council imposed stringent economic sanctions on Iraq by adopting and enforcing United Nations Security Council Resolution 661. After the end of the 1991 Persian Gulf War, those sanctions were extended and elaborated on, including linkage to removal of weapons of mass destruction, by Resolution 687.
The entities still sanctioned by the United Nations, the European Union, and the United States are listed below. Each entityâs name is linked to an Iran Watch profile of its activities, and the document related to the sanctions designation is linked as a Referencing Document available from the Iran Watch Library.
