Sanctions, in law and legal definition, are penalties or other means of enforcement used to provide incentives for obedience with the law, or with rules and regulations. Criminal sanctions can take the form of serious punishment, such as corporal or capital punishment, incarceration, or severe fines. Within the civil law context, sanctions are usually monetary fines, levied against a party to a lawsuit or his/her attorney, for violating rules of procedure, or for abusing the judicial process. The most severe sanction in a civil lawsuit is the involuntary dismissal, with prejudice, of a complaining party's cause of action, or of the responding party's answer. This has the effect of deciding the entire action against the sanctioned party without recourse, except to the degree that an appeal or trial de novo may be allowed because of reversible error.
As a noun, the term is usually used in the plural form, even if it only refers to a single event: if a judge fines a party, it is not said that he or she imposed a sanction, but that he or she imposed sanctions.
Law is a system of rules that are enforced through social institutions to govern behavior. Laws can be made by a collective legislature or by a single legislator, resulting in statutes, by the executive through decrees and regulations, or by judges through binding precedent, normally in common law jurisdictions. Private individuals can create legally binding contracts, including arbitration agreements that may elect to accept alternative arbitration to the normal court process. The formation of laws themselves may be influenced by a constitution, written or tacit, and the rights encoded therein. The law shapes politics, economics, history and society in various ways and serves as a mediator of relations between people.
A general distinction can be made between (a) civil law jurisdictions (including Catholic canon law and socialist law), in which the legislature or other central body codifies and consolidates their laws, and (b) common law systems, where judge-made precedent is accepted as binding law. Historically, religious laws played a significant role even in settling of secular matters, which is still the case in some religious communities, particularly Jewish, and some countries, particularly Islamic. Islamic Sharia law is the world's most widely used religious law.

The Kelly File 8/2/16 | Glenn Beck on Trump-Khan feud, Clinton's lead in new polls Tonight on The Kelly File, Megyn Kelly clashed with guest Andell Brown over the Baltimore County police's accounting of the death of Korryn Gaines and wounding of her 5-year-old son after a standoff Monday that lasted several hours. Brown said that due to previous instances of police reports being disproved by video evidence, there is an issue with transparency and trust. "In a situation like this a picture’s worth a thousand words and a video is priceless," he said. The report said that the settlement, which resolved claims before an international tribunal in The Hague, also lined up with the implementation of the Iran nuclear deal. The White House denied the payment was ransom for the hostages, but par...

This shockingly frank video centers around the question, “what will you do when pedophilia is legalized?” This no holds barred documentary begins with the history of the laws of consent, and then moves to explore how societal conditioning that has perverted the average western male to be inclined toward pedophilia. Today pedophilia, pederasty and child murder form core behaviors sanctioned and practiced by many high level officials, religious cults and secret organizations throughout the world. There is a major push by social engineers to legalize pedophilia through the efforts of the main stream media, the fashion industry, engineered peer pressure, Hollywood mind control, academic liberal mindedness and the very influential psychological associations. The UN sanctioning of Sharia Law als...

Reasons for torture can include punishment, revenge, political re-education, deterrence, interrogation or coercion of the victim or a third party, or simply the sadistic gratification...
Time to boycott Israel? Author and activist Norman Finkelstein discusses whether the two-state solution can solve the Israel-Palestine conflict. "Prospects have never been better for settling the Israel-Palestine conflict," argues Norman Finkelstein, the controversial scholar and author of The Holocaust Industry and Method and Madness. But after more violence, yet another round of failed talks and 20 years of Israeli land annexation, is the two-state solution really still an option? In this episode of Head to Head, Mehdi Hasan challenges Norman Finkelstein on his proposal for resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict, and explores whether he has changed his tone on some of his more incendiary criticism of Israel. Once described as an 'American Radical', Finkelstein has also been brande...
