Bill Summary
A BILL To repeal the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2019.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to completely repeal the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2019, which was a significant piece of legislation aimed at addressing human rights violations and imposing sanctions in Syria. The Caesar Act, named after a Syrian military photographer who documented widespread torture and killings in Syrian government detention facilities, originally established sanctions against the Syrian government, its allies, and individuals or entities supporting the regime's actions during the Syrian Civil War. By repealing this law, the bill would remove the legal framework that allowed the United States to impose economic and political penalties on those involved in Syria's ongoing conflict and human rights abuses. The bill is straightforward, consisting of a single section that simply states the repeal of Section 5123 of Public Law 118-159, effectively eliminating the legal basis for the sanctions regime established by the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act.
