Comstock On Passage of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act | 2016-11-15 | 2016 | 2016-11 | Republican | House | VA | Barbara Comstock | C001105 | comstock.house.gov | legacy | Washington, DC – Congresswoman Barbara Comstock (R-VA) released the following statement after the House passed by voice vote H.R. 5732, the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, a bill that she cosponsored to impose sanctions on individuals who have perpetrated war crimes and crimes against humanity against the Syrian people: “I thank my colleagues for supporting this bipartisan legislation to impose sanctions on those perpetuating the ongoing security and humanitarian crisis in Syria. The horrors Bashar al-Assad and his despotic regime continue to commit against the people of Syria necessitate serious action. The Administration has blocked these sanctions for far too long and I am pleased that Republicans and Democrats came together today to take a stand against the Assad Regime and its allies in response to years of atrocities committed against the Syrian people.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
