internal human rights situation as condition for lifting sanctions?

Does anyone know whether internal (i.e. Iraqi government) abuses of
sections of the Iraqi population (e.g. Shi'a, Kurds) have been used as a
justification of maintaining economic sanctions, or whether the
cessation of such persecution has been cited in UN resolutions as a
pre-condition for the lifting of sanctions?

I would be most grateful for any insights.
