Sanctions on Syria
Last Updated: Mar 12, 2025
The UN Special Envoy to Syria has suggested that the formation of an inclusive government in Syria could be a crucial factor in determining the lifting of Western sanctions. These sanctions were imposed in response to the actions of the former Assad regime.
The envoy's statement links potential sanctions relief to political reform and the establishment of a more representative government as the country undergoes reconstruction efforts. This could open the door for international support based upon tangible political change.
