public in violation of its international obligations, its 
support for, and facilitation of, all terrorist activities 
inside of Iraq, and its massive, systematic, and ex-
traordinary violations of human rights of both the 
Syrian and Lebanese people, are a threat to the na-
tional security interests of the United States and 
international peace.

deny Syria the ability to carry out the following: 
(A) To finance, provide safe-haven, or oth-
erwise support terrorist organizations. 
(B) To develop biological, chemical, or nu-
clear weapons and long-range ballistic missiles. 
(C) To continue to occupy and otherwise 
interfere in the affairs of the Government of 
Lebanon in contravention of United Nations 
Security Council Resolutions 425 (1978), 426 
(1978), 520 (1982), and 1559 (2004), and 
other pertinent obligations. 
(D) To continue to oppress the people of 
Syria. 
(3) The President should advocate for, and 
should instruct the United States Permanent Rep-
resentative to the United Nations to propose and 
seek within the United Nations Security Council, a
mandatory international embargo against the Gov-
ernment of Syria, pursuant to Article 41 of the 
Charter of the United Nations. 
(4) Any effort by a country that is a recipient 
of United States foreign assistance to facilitate, di-
rectly or indirectly, the development of Syria’s nu-
clear, biological, or chemical weapons capabilities, 
long-range ballistic missile development programs, or 
to help make operational any nuclear facility in 
Syria will have a detrimental impact on United 
States assistance to such country.
