To look beyond modern sanctions is to look both into the past, where we have all come from, as well as to imagine a future that we have not come to yet. It is to appraise who we are as a species, what we have been previously, as well as what we still may yet be moving forward. It is not easy, nor is it full of certainty. What societies or polities grow comfortable knowing and understanding must be evolving ever continuously; therefore, to look beyond those sanctions which have, to put it lightly, questionable moral justifications - however they’re sliced or discussed - the very organizations of humanity itself must be appraised and analyzed.
