The US Congress has voted to lift sanctions against Syria under the Caesar Act, which was initially established to penalize President Bashar al-Assad's regime for human rights abuses.
This decision was made as part of an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which was passed last night.
The amendment, Article 8369 titled "Lifting the Caesar Act to Protect the Civilian Population in Syria of 2019," requires the US President to submit reports to relevant congressional committees every 180 days over a four-year period. These reports will assess whether the Syrian government:
. is taking concrete steps to combat ISIS and other terrorist organizations in cooperation with the United States;
. is working to remove foreign fighters from high positions within Syria's state and security institutions.
This American decision reflects a strategic shift in policy towards Syria while maintaining precise monitoring mechanisms to ensure compliance by the Syrian regime in the fight against terrorism.
