US Lawmakers Urge Sanction Review for Syria
The Biden administration has indicated it would recognize a new Syrian government contingent upon the government's commitment to renounce terrorism and destroy chemical weapons. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized the need for the new government to respect minority rights and facilitate humanitarian aid. In light of the recent fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime, U.S. lawmakers Joe Wilson and Brendan Boyle are advocating for a phased lifting of sanctions on Syria to aid reconstruction and economic development, while maintaining restrictions on terrorist organizations like Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Their proposal aims to build goodwill and prevent terrorism by enabling foreign investment and economic recovery. The lawmakers argue that the successful unwinding of sanctions is critical to stabilizing Syria post-Assad and enhancing compliance with international norms. However, significant challenges remain, including the complexity of dealing with HTS, which has been designated a terrorist group by the U.S.
