Eliot Engel: “We have to give them a roadmap, a path to that that meets our needs.”

This coup is a blatant violation of the rights of the Burmese people.

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.

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