The Syrian government has been under strict sanctions by the United States, European Union and others for years as a result of Assad's brutal response to what began as peaceful anti-government protests in 2011 and later spiralled into a civil war. “We can hopefully see a quick end to the sanctions so that we can see a rallying around the building of Syria,” UN envoy Geir Pedersen told reporters during a visit to Damascus on Sunday.
The interim government is set to govern until March, but it has not yet made clear the process under which a new permanent administration would replace it.
