Eliot Engel: “Burma will not realize its full democratic potential until the Constitution is reformed.”

I introduced the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act several years ago as a response to what we saw in this room.

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

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.
