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

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