AI Summary
This bill:
1. Amends the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2019 to impose mandatory sanctions on foreign persons who knowingly engage in certain activities related to the Assad regime in Syria, including providing support to the Assad government, diverting humanitarian aid, or engaging in transactions involving seized or expropriated property. It also expands the definition of sanctionable activities and clarifies the term "significant transaction."
2. Prohibits any official action by the U.S. government to recognize or normalize relations with the Assad regime in Syria, and directs the administration to actively oppose such recognition by other governments.
3. Requires the Secretary of State to submit an annual report and strategy to counter efforts by foreign governments to normalize ties with the Assad regime, including details on diplomatic meetings, transactions, and the impact on U.S. national security and accountability for war crimes.
4. Requires the Secretary of State to report on the Assad regime's manipulation of United Nations operations in Syria, including through imposing conditions, restricting access, and diverting aid, and to develop a strategy to reduce the regime's influence over these operations.
