A bill to repeal the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2019.

This bill would repeal the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2019. In plain terms, it would eliminate the statutory framework that authorized U.S. sanctions on Syria and on individuals and entities that assist the Assad regime or contribute to human rights abuses. The repeal would remove the CAESAR Act’s sanctions authorities and prohibitions from U.S. law. It does not add any new policy or sanctions framework; it simply wipes out the CAESAR Act. Upon enactment, the specific authorities created by that act would no longer be in effect, though other sanctions or authorities from different laws could continue to apply if Congress or the President rely on them.
