Syria Sanctions Accountability Act of 2025
This bill modifies U.S. sanctions on Syria by requiring a review of exceptions for the Commercial Bank of Syria and directing Treasury to influence international financial institutions (IMF/World Bank) to support economic monitoring and anti-corruption efforts in Syria. It amends the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act to establish new, specific conditions for potentially lifting sanctions, including verified steps against Captagon production, release of political prisoners, and cessation of attacks on medical facilities and civilians. The bill sets a deadline of December 31, 2029, or two consecutive years of meeting the new criteria, whichever comes first, for sanctions to expire. It directly affects the Syrian government’s ability to access international financial systems and U.S. sanctions relief.
