Research Director for the Middle East Watch Ethan Dinçer and Senior Analyst Jeffrey Love of the LP Sanctions Programme co-authored an article on the impact of sanctions on the effectiveness of NGOs in post-earthquake Syria. Ethan and Jeffrey discuss the impact of the sanctions on NGOs operating in Syria. While the United States issued a General License exempting earthquake aid from U.S. sanctions, NGOs are still forced to contend with a variety of stumbling blocs when it comes to the provision of adequate aid. Ethan and Jeffrey speculate on whether the General License will be renewed, and provide several insights about the impact of U.S. sanctions on Syria.
