US sanctions on Syria like the Caesar Act are illegal under international law and their extensive impacts on regular people is well documented by UN Special Rapporteur and aid orgs like Red Crescent. Sign on to urgently call for immediate sanctions relief: progressive.international/wire/2023-02-0

US sanctions on Syria, including the CAESAR Act, are illegal under international law and detrimental to every vulnerable group impoverished and immiserated by over a decade of war. Fight the dangerous mythology of "targeted sanctions", these do not exist!

This is why abolition has to be international-there is no outside to empire and what can be justified elsewhere can be brought home. When the rights of targeted communities are disregarded, it erodes the inviolability of rights themselves

The latest nonsense controversy on China shows the absurdity of new Cold War hysteria. A new Select Committee on China, US generals pushing war rhetoric, new US bases in Guam and Philippines, increased US militarism in the Pacific, all manufacture consent for US global interests.

Instead of addressing the needs of working people, US lawmakers would sooner quote slave owners to justify undermining countries' sovereignty and whitewashing its own history in these places where US wars and interventions killed millions and sanctions still immiserate many more.
