Eliot Engel: “We cannot be silent in the fact of this horrific crime against humanity...”

We will continue to call out and hold accountable those who undermine the Dayton Peace Agreement or threaten the country's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and multi-ethnic character.

I introduced the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act several years ago as a response to what we saw in this room.

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.
