Eliot Engel: “The BURMA Act will hold the perpetrators of these horrific crimes accountable and pursue justice for the victims.”

This coup is a blatant violation of the rights of the Burmese people.

I particularly want to thank Chairman Engel for his leadership, as well as the whole committee, for making the Caesar Act a reality.

Self-government is not some sort of temporary arrangement or gift from the military, it's a right that's owed to the people of Burma.

We like to say that the Foreign Affairs Committee... is the most bipartisan committee in Congress.
