Eliot Engel: “This bill, H.R. 2037, is about ensuring that there is accountability for those actions.”

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 think that is scandalous and I think it, frankly, undermines whatever policy we are pursuing in Syria.

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

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