Global Justice Hails Historic Turn Toward Peace as U.S. Lifts Sanctions on Syria
Washington, D.C., May 13, 2025
Global Justice, a U.S.-based human rights organization, celebrates President Donald J. Trump’s historic
announcement lifting all sanctions on Syria and restoring full diplomatic relations with Damascus.
Global Justice and the Syrian Emergency Task Force (SETF) led a U.S. delegation to Damascus. The delegation
met with the Syrian President for nearly four hours and discussed the importance of a Syria – U.S. partnership,
and we agreed to convey President al-Sharaa’s message to President Trump, emphasizing the golden
opportunity for a partnership based on mutual economic, political, and security interests as well as shared
values.
A New Dawn for Syria
The announcement signals the return of hope to a nation devastated by conflict. Families look forward to
reunification, refugees dream of returning home, and communities long to heal. Global Justice aƯirms this is
more than a policy shift—it is a symbol of justice, freedom, and a new chapter for Syria.
Path to Peace
This breakthrough follows months of courageous engagement. A U.S. delegation to Damascus, jointly led by
Global Justice and the Syrian Emergency Task Force (SETF), opened dialogue with Syrian oƯicials.
Gratitude and Resolve
Global Justice thanks all who stood with the Syrian people—activists, exiles, and families of the missing—
whose voices made this moment possible.
Dr. Haytham Albizem, President:
“After 14 years of suffering, we witness the dawn of peace. It is a proud day for all who never gave up.”
Maissa Kabbani, Vice President:
“My deepest gratitude to every ally who believed in the dream of a free Syria. Today, the world hears us.”
Global Justice urges global support for Syria’s transition—including humanitarian aid, justice, and
reconstruction. “Together, we will build a future rooted in dignity, justice, and hope.”.
