Also known as

Council Decision (CFSP) 2026/1105 extends the restrictive measures against Syria established by Decision 2013/255/CFSP until 1 June 2027 to address the ongoing risk of destabilization following the fall of the al-Assad regime. The Decision maintains targeted sanctions against individuals and entities associated with the former regime, including family members, former ministers, and businesspersons, while excluding those no longer posing a risk of circumvention or regime association. Key amendments to Articles 27 and 28 update the criteria for travel bans and asset freezes to reflect current assessments of the transitional justice process and security situation in Syria.AI
