Assad Regime Anti-Normalization Act: Strengthening Sanctions and Non-Recognition

This act aims to prevent the United States from recognizing or normalizing relations with the Syrian government led by Bashar al-Assad. It introduces new sanctions and strengthens existing ones to hinder support for the regime, including through financial transactions and humanitarian aid. Citizens should be aware that US policy remains firm against the Assad regime, which may impact international relations and aid flows.
Key points
Prohibition of Assad Regime Recognition: No federal official or funds can be used to recognize the Bashar al-Assad government in Syria.
Expanded Sanctions: The act broadens the list of individuals and entities subject to sanctions, including Syria Arab Airlines and Cham Wings, and those involved in property seizure in Syria.
Enhanced Financial Scrutiny: New definitions for financial services and transactions, including energy-related transactions, are introduced, which may be subject to sanctions.
Extended Sanctions Duration: The Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act's validity is extended until December 31, 2032.
Reporting on UN Manipulation: Requires reports on the Assad regime's manipulation of UN operations to ensure the neutrality of humanitarian aid.
