Damascus-Sana
Prolonging the war on Syria and obstructing any endeavor to recover its economy and rebuild goals that the United States has been seeking to achieve for years through unjust hostile measures that contradict moral and human values in an attempt to undermine the resilience of the Syrian people and punish them for their livelihood and harm.
The so-called “Caesar’s Law” and its coercive measures constitute the most prominent forms of the American war against the Syrian people and try to target it with its food and medicinal security and its basic necessities of life, as Dr. Saber Baloul, Dean of the Faculty of Political Science at Damascus University says, indicating that it targets various aspects of economic and social life from besieging a Syrian bank Central to punishing companies that deal with Syria and preventing it from participating in the reconstruction process and building what was destroyed by the unjust war imposed on Syria in addition to a large number of hostile measures taken by the American administration.
Balloul affirms that what is required today instead of intimidation and fear of the repercussions of this unjust law is to focus on work to confront it and mitigate its effects as much as possible, calling for serious work and cooperation to overcome obstacles and difficulties and advance the national economy.
In turn, Dr. Namir Issa, head of the Department of International Relations at the College of Political Science, stressed that the so-called “Caesar’s Law” is based on false allegations and constitutes an episode of the war on Syria and is not only directed against it, but it violates the sovereignty of other countries, indicating that the American administration when it failed in its military war against Syria resorted to transferring the war to the economic field in an attempt to force Syria to make political concessions.
Trump is trying to export crises through laws such as this, says Dr. Issa, who stresses the importance of looking at the experiences of other peoples in order to confront it and the need to work to create an integrated internal national economy and encourage local projects to face the sanctions, considering that the Syrian people who have withstood the most severe terrorist war exceeded nine years are not Unable to withstand and confront this law with the support of allies and free powers.
Dr. Qassem Abu Dast, Head of the Department of International Economics at the College of Political Science considers that focusing on national capabilities and developing the agricultural sector is a priority in such circumstances and stresses the need to apply the maximum penalties against anyone who tries to smuggle currencies and goods inside or outside the country and close the border ports and put them under strict supervision and hitting Crisis dealers and anyone who affects the economic situation or any trader withholding goods in the market and working to further activate positive intervention institutions and improve their work horizontally and vertically and emphasize the billing system because large traders sell their goods without bills.
Dr. Abu Dust calls for providing assistance and job opportunities to support the purchasing power of the citizen and for the state to be responsible for importing basic materials or to play the role of mediator and to stop the hand of merchants on these matters, especially with regard to the basic needs of the people and secure enough for the steadfastness of the citizen in the next stage.
Female students Zainab Qassem, Zahraa Razouq and Rama Hamandoush from the College of Political Science considered that the American administration is trying to target the will of peoples and weaken their resolve and productive capabilities, stressing the importance of developing curricula and forming teams and awareness campaigns to mitigate the psychological effects of this law on citizens as much as possible and emphasize the importance of not being drawn behind fake media and pages The yellow that tries to control brains.
The so-called “Caesar’s Law” will not discourage our will or affect our defending positions on the homeland as the students assert, so who sacrificed the most precious possessions during the lean years of war will spare no effort to defend his livelihood and endure until victory in the face of all attempts that target him.
International human rights reports collect that unilateral economic coercive measures essentially undermine human rights, making them unlawful and violating the fundamental rights of citizens of the target countries.
