Eliot Engel: “I want to encourage my colleagues to work on common sense legislation, which would repeal the Non-Interference clause…”

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

This legislation, passed into law last December, mandates the most sweeping sanctions on Assad's enablers.

This legislation could go a long way toward putting Burma back on the path toward democracy.

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