There are no UN sanctions on Moldova.

EU Sanctions

In response to the Transnistrian conflict in 2003, the EU imposed sanctions in the form of travel bans on members of the Transnistrian leadership responsible for the lack of cooperation to promote a political settlement of the conflict.  In 2004 the EU extended the travel bans to those who were responsible for the campaign against Latin-script Moldovan schools.

In 2010, in order to encourage progress in reaching a political settlement to the Transnistrian conflict, the EU suspended sanctions.

In 2012, sanctions against the former political leadership were lifted.  The power to designate individuals in relation to the campaign against Latin-script Moldovan schools was extended, but all individuals were de-listed.  Council Decision 2010/573/CFSP.

In May 2023, at the request of the Government of Moldova, the EU adopted a new sanctions framework providing for travel bans and asset freezes for those responsible for threatening the sovereignty or democracy of Moldova under Council Regulation (EU) 2023/888 and Council Decision (CFSP) 2023/891.
