the termination of responsibility for the enforcement of the sanction

While it may be tempting to use the word “extinction” here, “termination” is the correct term for this case.
Peer comment(s):

agree Patricia Fierro, M. Sc. : due to the enforcement

responsibility is nullified by the execution of the sanction

my take
Peer comment(s):

neutral AllegroTrans : "execution of the sanction" sounsds like Translationese, not natural English
