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

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

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.
