EU Considers Suspending Sanctions on Syria in Key Sectors
According to Reuters, a document from European entities suggests a temporary suspension of the sanctions imposed on Syria in several vital sectors, including transportation, energy, and banking. The document emphasizes the need for an immediate modification of the current sanctions system.
The document notes that the European Union might reinstate these suspended sanctions if Syrian authorities fail to meet the EU’s expectations regarding human rights and minority rights.
Furthermore, the document highlights that lifting sanctions on Hayat Tahrir al-Sham is a sensitive issue that requires discussions within the United Nations framework to reach a decision.
This European approach comes amid ongoing international efforts to find solutions for the Syrian crisis, with a strong emphasis on ensuring respect for humanitarian standards and fundamental rights for all components of the Syrian populace.
