This law, which supports the regime forces in Syria by supporting the war crimes and human rights violations in the country, includes Assad, as well as state officials, security forces, business people, and the alleged war crimes.

According to the Caesar Law, Assad is listed as the first person to impose directly sanctions due to war crimes and human rights violations. In addition to Assad, 39 Syrian senior officials, including his family and his wife, are included in the institution sanction list.

General Züheyr Assad and his son Kerem Assad, as well as Hafız Assad’s son Hafız Assad is also on this list.

In addition, many senior officials and military leaders involved in Syria’s security and military networks were also influenced by the sanctions under the Caesar law.
