HART's campaign against sanctions
People across the country tell us how economic sanctions restrict access to food, fuel and medicine. Unilateral coercive measures cause immense suffering for ordinary Syrians.
Experts warn that sanctions “imposed in the name of delivering human rights are in fact killing people and depriving them of fundamental rights, including the rights to health, to food and to life itself.”
Hospitals lack essential water, soap, and electricity; fuel scarcity impedes the delivery of vital goods; the population faces a growing food crisis.
HART responds by forming the Global Network for Syria, supported by three former British Ambassadors to Syria. We advocate for unimpeded access to humanitarian aid.
May 2025: We welcome the USA’s long-overdue decision to lift economic sanctions. The decision, if implemented fully and fairly, will save thousands of lives.
Where communities suffer from protracted conflict and poverty, aid must go hand-in-hand with advocacy.
