U.N. Special Rapporteur Alena Douhan discusses the devastating impact of illegal US sanctions on Syria and how they are continuing to block aid in earthquake recovery efforts. Professor Douhan explains how despite the US Treasury issuing a 180-day waiver on certain sanctions imposed on Syria, countries and humanitarian actors are still hesitant to send aid due to overcompliance and fears of potential financial and political consequences from the US in the context of a complex and poorly specified system.
