Eliot Engel: “We need to see these criminals and these thugs brought to justice. We need to stop it.”

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.

Why have there been no designations by us of Russian companies and individuals who are so clearly and shamelessly giving Assad a lifeline?

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