sanctions
Sanctions against a country inevitably harm the innocent poor of that country more than those creating the policies those sanctions stand against.
Re: sanctions
It depends on what products are being withheld from that government. For example, if a regime were using armed force against its neighbours or its own citizens, refusing to sell them ammunition - or even blockading its weapons import - might be a good idea. So might not allowing their corrupt officials to invest [hide] money in another country.

They'll just take money that would otherwise be spent for infrastructure of public works or something and use it to buy more expensive ammunition elsewhere.
