<h3 style="text-align:start;">Protect Human Rights and Accountability in Syria</h3>
Syria stands at a critical crossroads. Following the fall of the Assad regime, sectarian violence has surged, putting countless lives at risk—especially among Alawite, Christian, and Druze communities who have long been part of Syria’s diverse social fabric. As the country rebuilds, the United States has an opportunity to help ensure that peace, justice, and inclusion take root.
The Alawites Association of the United States (AAUS) is calling on all who value justice, dignity, and human rights to urge Congress to act. By supporting legislation like the Syria Sanctions Accountability Act (H.R. 4427) and similar measures, Americans can help ensure that U.S. policy promotes accountability, protects persecuted minorities, and strengthens the foundation for a free and inclusive Syria.

Protect Human Rights and Accountability in Syria

Urge Congress to Protect Human Rights and Accountability in Syria

I am writing to urge you to support legislation and related amendments that advance the protection of human rights and accountability in Syria. Legislative efforts such as the Syria Sanctions Accountability Act (H.R. 4427) seek to promote accountability and human rights protections by fostering diplomatic solutions that ensure the inclusion and safety of all ethno-religious groups currently facing persecution—often with fatal consequences.

The fall of the Assad regime in December 2024 has unleashed a surge of sectarian violence against Syria’s minorities. Alawite, Christian, and Druze communities—longstanding pillars of Syria’s pluralistic society—now face mass killings, kidnappings, forced displacement, and systematic hate speech.

As a member of the Alawite diaspora and a supporter of the Alawites Association of the United States (AAUS), I care deeply about the safety and dignity of all Syrian communities, especially the Alawite people and other minorities who have endured persecution and violence throughout the conflict. Legislation requiring the Syrian government to take concrete steps toward peace and justice—defeating ISIS and other terrorist groups, protecting minorities, ending support for extremists, holding perpetrators of human rights abuses accountable, and building an inclusive government with representation from all ethno-religious groups—is critical as Syria rebuilds.

Supporting such legislation reflects core American values: justice, dignity, and human rights. It also ensures that U.S. policy promotes a just and sustainable future for all Syrians. I respectfully urge you to support bills like Representative Lawler’s H.R. 4427 and similar initiatives that protect vulnerable communities in Syria while strengthening U.S. partnerships abroad.
