Eliot Engel: “What concerns me now is that we have seen escalating military activity on a number of fronts.”

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.

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

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