The GPP relies on economic sanctions as its main instrument against aggressive states that:
directly attack, destabilize, or threaten a GPP member through hybrid means,
refuse to recognize territorial integrity and international law,
repeatedly violate international obligations and GPP principles.
Possible sanctions include:
trade and technology embargoes,
financial restrictions,
exclusion from multilateral projects,
blocking international waterways, ports, or transit routes,provided these are under GPP control.
Special rule: If an aggressor state deliberately interrupts the water or energy supply of a GPP member, the GPP’s solidarity obligation is automatically activated (see Article 7) in order to compensate for supply shortages collectively and fairly.
