Eliot Engel: “It is imperative that all sides exercise restraint and avoid confrontation.”

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

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

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.

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